Remote Work Features at Playrix

What the talk is about

Lyolik Truskov explains how remote work is organized at Playrix. At the time of the talk the company had just over 700 people, 287 of them working outside the office across 19 countries and 95 cities. The core idea: a remote employee is not an outsourcer but a full team member, included in every discussion and treated the same as office staff. He lists five principles: equality in everything, focus on results (team hours from 11 to 16, free schedule otherwise), tools equally convenient for everyone, regular and useful video calls with a list of questions prepared in advance, and care for growth. He also covers company culture, a mentor and manager for each person, monthly feedback, and a twice-yearly gathering of all employees. The Q&A touches on time zones, meeting size, hierarchy and overtime. Useful for anyone building distributed teams.
