Stated policy vs lived experience
A remote policy listed on the profile is a signal of intent, not a guarantee of day-to-day reality. Cross-check with recent reviews when they exist.
Work-life balance
The “balance” dimension of the score only appears if enough reviews report it. Otherwise, the absence of information is itself information: look elsewhere or contribute.
