Pros & Cons
n8n
- Exceptional remote-first culture with high trust, autonomy, and smart collaborative teammates
- Fast-growing open-source product with real impact — lots of ownership in a low-ego environment
- Hypergrowth means priorities shift frequently and processes are still being defined
- Startup intensity can be stressful; some concerns about product leadership direction
Supabase
- Truly open-source DNA — build products millions of developers use daily
- No-hierarchy remote culture with extreme autonomy and generous allowances
- Intense workload — more work than a single person can reasonably manage
- Work-life balance rated 3.0/5 — fast shipping pace can be relentless
Bottom Line
n8n
One of the highest-rated companies on the list (4.5 Glassdoor, 90% recommend) — genuinely remote-first, async, transparent, and OSS-driven. Small headcount means limited specialization but broad ownership and real impact.
Supabase
Egoless, fully remote culture with just one meeting per week and extreme autonomy — but the relentless shipping pace means work-life balance takes a hit.
