At Ably, we’ve embraced a #remotefirst work culture 💻 This means that we communicate, collaborate, and set up processes assuming Ablyans work from different locations and time zones. Learn how we balance #sync and #async communication to collaborate efficiently, and discover our remote-first playbook!
We’re proud Flexa® Careers has continued to recognize our remote work at Ably! We encourage a life-before-work approach that enables parents to be there for their children, carers to support loved ones and everyone to have a life without the limitations of travel, location, or timetable.
We believe that embracing diversity is fundamental to our success as a company. Our values and individualities are what we pride most and are what shape our open and honest culture in a way that ensures everyone brings their true self to work. Our Talent Acquisition team have transformed the recruitment process to ensure a fair, unbiased and inclusive process takes place; values and practices we’re committed to throughout our people’s experience at Ably.
At the beginning of 2021, Ably had 35 employees in the UK and some pretty ambitious goals for the year ahead. By the summer, we’d raised our Series B funding and with that, came lots of new Ablyans and plans to grow the team rapidly. Just over one year later, we’re up to over 130 employees in the UK, Europe, and the US. While our benefits were quite standard for a start-up of our size, we needed to upgrade our offering to support existing Ablyans. Read more on our blog...
