Owner

What I liked most about Remote was its streamlined platform for managing international employees and contractors, making global payroll and compliance much easier to handle.

Administrative Director

I can process payroll easily by managing my employees through email notifications.  

The company I work for is waiting for process corrections for outstanding credit notes, including those arising from pre-funding invoices vs reconciliation invoices.

Remote Job

My overall experience of remote jobs are not so optimum, they lye a lot with the offer listing, and just like to play with people necessity.

Head of People and Culture

They cannot always offer full flexibility and for that reason we couldn't move an employee in NL. As the Remote pension wasn't flexible, so the employee would lose net salary.

Nearly every step in the setup had an error that I had to catch and fix, and still months in there are errors in employee invoices that take weeks to resolve.

Executive Assistant

Minor detail but remote did not integrate with our HR tool, so we had to use two HR softwares for internal and external employees.

In the beginning, there were some bugs and issues that I managed to get around.  

Head of People

I would love for us to be able to run all of our entities and EoR via Remote but due to some restrictions with us already using Gusto in the US this is not possible at the moment.

Payments used to be immediate now they take a couple days to be reflected, which is especially challenging as the company as a whole is very unforgiving of any payment delays and will freeze your account.

This company seriously over-complicate their processes as a whole and I am starting to doubt whether they even know what they are doing themselves since we are now onto 3 months with my support tickets being opened and ZERO solutions yet.

HR Business Partners

way of invoicing: pre-payroll and actual payroll: this brings extra work as you have to check everything double

VP, People Operations

informs and secures adherence to local jurisdiction, ease for onboarding and creating essential employee contracts and agreements

I like the remote jobs because don't have to leave your house neither spend no type of busfair in commuting.

Head of Operations

It's cost us so much financially but also in time and energy to rectify issues that could have so easily been avoided in the first place if the correct and relevant information had been available at the start of a hiring relationship.

Easy to use, very intuitive platform and loads of resources you can tap into. But what makes it THE best platform for me is the very steady (little turnover) Account Management team, Payroll team and the speed and way in which tickets are being handled.

Chief People Officer

Their pricing is a little wonky to me in hiring by teams of 15; versus a team price with different quantity sizes.

Head of french technical support

When i need something specific, related to money usually, i often end up like a ping pong ball between remote.com and the employer.

Senior Global Mobility Partner

Not saying that this was Remote's fault, but there are so many things to consider when moving from one vendor to another, that some things slipped through.

They are proactive when you raise an issue and do seem to want to strive for a good resolution for all parties involved, but it takes some real escalation for it to get to that point.

We have been working with other vendors in the past and have to admit Remote stands out compared to others in terms of

Our company is based in the US, but we needed a simple and efficient way to pay employees in Europe.

Sales Development Representative

Sometimes the email you receive for the notification seen on the app does not arrive at the same time.

HR Manager

We have not terminated any employees with Remote, but we were informed that we would have to give plenty of notice if we were going to work with them to give a severance.

Product Manager

A year later when this was clear, I had to spend hours and hours communicating with them via chat support and sending them the written proof of their mess up.

Operations Manager

Since we work in different countries, the topics and circumstances of the individual countries are the challenge.

HR Business Partner

lack of a structure onboarding, there's a lot of support from the team but infos are not structured in a efficient way

Overall very positive but the fees that they charge are higher than other companies and this is something that is becoming a challenge in the current market where there are new companies in the EOR space offering similar products.

You can link your bank account thru Stripe for withdrawal.

People Ops

Siloed information and operations that create delays at times.

Notifications when payments are approved, processed and paid.

VP, People and Organization Design

Our team is growing and travel for those on board in our home country is significantly reduced.

Support is appalling, their processes are messy, calculations are not clear, nor right.

reports: lack of customize reports ad hoc autonomously

The platform offers a simple and user-friendly interface, making it incredibly easy to set up contracts and start the process.

They are not a real HR company, they provide a good looking platform, but then completely mess up on the HR side.

Commercial General Manager

I'd quite like to be able to remove options that I know I'm not going to use, so make it simpler for me.

Do you have 4 hours every week to spend on getting answers to issues that your remote employees face?

Global People Ops Admin

I would extend it for a couple of days. And the platform fee for EORs is a little pricey.

Sr. Manager, People

Support articles that are country specific, they should continue to build out their library.  

Is money not an issue for your employees, when remote.com messes up with local regulation?

We have moved all our 3rd party team members over to Remote from other providers.

Understanding the invoices and which one referred to which month.

Working student

The constant Email Updates and follow-ups if I answer this survey

Some countries they are hiring into they are absolutely not geared up to deal with, particularly when it comes to offboarding.

Head of Product

Compliance, health insurance, ease of requests on the platform, support is thorough

compared to the previous experience, the feeling is that the product needs huge improvement to be able to provide a good user experience

Senior HR Supervisro

Honestly, do yourself a favour and stay as far away as you possibly can from this company both as an employee and as an employer.

Operations Manager and Partner Relations Rep

It has been good because the issue is followed up until it is solved, until the client is satisfied.
