Why we'll stay remote
In recent years, attitudes towards remote work have shifted significantly. Companies are now fighting to bring employees back to the office, but Supabase has maintained its fully remote stance since January 2020. The benefits of remote work include no commute, reduced face-to-face time requirements, increased take-home pay due to not adjusting salaries geographically, and global coverage for round-the-clock support. Additionally, Supabase's remote policy allows them to hire from a larger talent pool and fosters diversity within the team. The company also provides co-working space options and organizes annual off-site events to encourage human connections among employees. Despite concerns about productivity in remote settings, Supabase believes that hiring smart and self-driven individuals is crucial for success, regardless of proximity.
