CalmJobs

@mahshidhdi Thanks! I currently do research about the company. I'm still improving the list but currently, here are some of the things I use to figure out if a company has good work-life balance (not all are required): * Has 40 hour or less work weeks * Rarely requires overtime work * Has a good amount of paid time off (Bonus points if they encourage employees to take a time off, like they require you to utilize all your paid time off and/or they provide a bonus if you take a time off) * Remote friendly * Communication is asynchronous by default * Well known publicly that the company value work-life balance * Offers good employee benefits (e.g, https://basecamp.com/handbook/08...) Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

@mahshidhdi @john200ok Hi John, great attempt! This could be a great machine learning problem to solve with many variables that you assign weights to, for example: O = w1*a + w2*b... where a is 40 hour work weeks, b is rarely requires overtime work etc. Negative comments on Glassdoor seem to be good indicators of the workplace culture. Positive comments are often from employees who are forced to write a good comment, while negative comments seem to be more genuine. Lastly, this could be expanded to include companies that have a good culture overall, not just a good work life balance, but CalmJobs is a great place to start.

@john200ok This is so cool

@teemofeev DHH, Jason Fried and the Basecamp team are really a big part on why I built the site. Their books, blog posts, tweet storms etc... really changed my perspective towards work for the better.
