🕐 Work Hours
Do we control work hours?
No, we trust you to manage your time and responsibilities. You have the flexibility to create your own schedule, though we recommend you set working hours on Google Calendar and inform your team and manager.
How do I handle working with people in different time zones?
Rocket.Chat is designed for asynchronous communication, so you can communicate across time zones without any issues. Just be mindful that responses may not be immediate, and it’s always good to have a Plan B in place.
👕 Dress Code
Is there a dress code?
No, we have a flexible dress code. However, you’ll receive a Rocket.Chat t-shirt as part of your welcome kit to help you feel part of the team, no matter where you are in the world. It may take some time to reach you due to logistics.
