Employee Field Guide – Automattic
The Automattic Field Guide is a guide to working at Automattic. It’s our employee handbook and where we store all of the information that we need to understand how to work. That’s everything from setting up a home office, ordering company swag, team member and lead expectations, our style guide, and more. It’s a crowd-sourced internal resource that all Automatticians can add to or edit. If you are reading this on automattic.com, and you don’t currently work at Automattic you’ll see a selected set of pages that will give you a sense of our onboarding and welcome documents from the Field Guide. Over time, we hope to add more. Please note: As this is a direct transfer of an existing internal document, please be aware that links which point to confidential, employee-only pages have been removed. If you see words which talk about an external resource but do not link to that resource, that is why.
Your very first impression of Automattic from the inside will most likely be that you’ve arrived at a very smooth operation quietly humming along. That will last for about five minutes. Soon you will discover that it is, in fact, chaos, albeit with some logistical organization behind the scenes.
