Ventajas
Filigran is a remote-first company that is growing rapidly and experiencing significant traction, transitioning from a startup to a scale-up. This dynamic evolution means that they continuously reassess and refine their ways of working to ensure everything stays up to date, improve communication, establish clear processes, and remain agile enough to seize new opportunities. And they manage to do it exceptionally well! The company has implemented various tools to streamline communication and facilitate the sharing and documentation of processes. With a strong tech stack—including Microsoft 365, Gather, Notion, Figma, Slack, TravelPerk, Rippling, and more—collaboration and productivity are well-supported. Notion serves as the central hub for all projects across teams, ensuring full transparency, as everything remains open and accessible. One of the things I appreciate most is the company’s commitment to keeping everyone informed and aligned. Regular all-hands meetings provide a space to share progress, vision, and milestones, reinforcing a strong sense of unity. On top of that, having the opportunity to meet with the CEO when you need is a unique advantage—it allows for open discussions and direct insights into the company’s direction. Beyond the structured processes, what truly makes Filigran special is its people. I have been consistently impressed by the talented professionals I’ve met and learned from. The founders are approachable, and there is a culture of support, knowledge-sharing, and constructive feedback that helps both individuals and the company grow. It’s a place where you are given the freedom and trust to build things from scratch while receiving guidance from experienced professionals. Like any thriving startup, there’s room for innovation, experimentation, and exploring new ideas. Filigran also knows how to celebrate achievements! Every win, big or small, is acknowledged with the entire company, and those who deserve recognition are never overlooked. Additionally, even as a remote-first company, they ensure that employees can connect in person at least once a year for a few days—an experience that is both energizing and rewarding. Finally, the company truly values work-life balance. The environment is respectful and caring, and they take employee well-being seriously. Monthly reviews, in addition to yearly ones, ensure that everyone has clear goals and the necessary support to achieve them, with HR actively involved in this process. Overall, Filigran is a place where innovation, collaboration, and personal growth go hand in hand. If you’re looking for an environment that encourages ownership, fosters transparency, and celebrates both individual and collective success, this is the right place to be.
Desventajas
The remote-first policy can sometimes lead to occasional miscommunications and, at times, frustration. However, the company has put strong measures in place to mitigate these challenges, ensuring smooth collaboration. Additionally, the opportunity to meet in person at least once a year—sometimes even twice—helps strengthen connections, making teamwork even more effective and enjoyable afterward.
