To do that, we use a mix of in-person and video or text chat meetings. Postlight is a client services company so we spent a huge amount of our time communicating and collaborating with clients and internally, often remotely. The bad news is that Google may some day start running text ads in our inboxes that directly reference the company’s most guarded strategic secrets-but the good news is that in the meantime we don’t need to hire a systems administrator for the mail server. On your first day at Postlight, you get a shiny new Google account, which sets you up with the basic tools we all use every day: Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and Hangouts. This story inevitably begins with Google Apps. And not everyone here uses every app mentioned, so we’re constantly trying out new processes and tools.


About one third of our team is remote, so that weighs into the choices we make.

The answer to the question Which app should I use? is almost always What are you trying to do? Postlight is a collection of about 40 people (and growing) who build software and are therefore very opinionated about software. This list is more a peek inside how we work right now than a list of apps you should use, too. My first line of inquiry was: What apps do these people use? How do they use them? Is this place Photoshop or Sketch? JavaScript or Python? Docker or Vagrant? Hacker News or ProductHunt? Thanks to Jeremy Mack and a Trello board he put together, I got some answers. I recently started as a Director of Engineering at Postlight, and during my first 10 weeks, I’ve been on a mission to get to know my new coworkers.
