> While we did not initially plan to make hiring remotes a huge part of our engineering efforts, our remote employees have outperformed all expectations.

I wonder what metrics were used. Would be interesting to know whether the main motivator was simply raw performance, or performance/cost.

..Remote (North America Only)..

Not sure if this is true in Stripe's case, but in some cases contracts with clients (especially governments, financial firms, healthcare companies, and the like) have stipulations as to where work can be performed.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For now!

If you want to test out workers outside of USA but not have to solve the timezone related issues I recommend Colombia. There is at least one interested person there.

As someone who's worked remote with "timezone issues" before they're not for the company to solve.

If you live in Europe but work for a US company that requires you to work US times, it's simple, you work US times. This is how I've worked before and it's worked out perfectly. In fact, I'm a bit of a night owl so I much preferred it.
