Hi everyone,

I'm researching how distributed software companies manage employee onboarding, IT operations, and device logistics at scale, and CloudLinux came up as an interesting example.

For anyone who currently works at CloudLinux or has worked there before, I'd love to learn more about:

• Is CloudLinux fully remote, or does it operate with a hybrid model?

• How do new hires receive their laptops and equipment?

• Does CloudLinux have an internal IT team, or do they use a third-party provider for device provisioning and logistics?

• Are devices pre-configured before being shipped, or do employees set them up themselves?

• What operating systems are most commonly used internally (Mac, Linux, Windows)?

• What tools are used for device management, security, and access control?

• How does IT support employees across different countries and time zones?

• When an employee leaves, what happens to their laptop and company equipment?

• Does the employee ship the device back, or is there another recovery process?

• Which teams are involved in onboarding and offboarding (IT, Security, People Ops, HR, Finance, etc.)?

• What are some of the biggest challenges of managing devices and access for a globally distributed workforce?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm researching remote-first companies and was curious about how Zapier manages employee onboarding and IT operations at scale.

For anyone who currently works at Zapier or has worked there before:

• How do new hires receive their laptops and equipment?
• Does Zapier have an internal IT team, or is device provisioning and logistics handled through a third-party provider?
• How are laptops configured before they arrive?
• When an employee leaves, how is equipment returned and recovered?
• Is the onboarding experience smooth for employees located outside the U.S.?

Any insights into how Zapier manages these processes as a fully remote company would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I recently moved to the 2nd round for an SDR role in DEEL , and the next step includes a mock cold call and interview with SDR managers.

I come from a non-SaaS sales background, so I’d really appreciate any advice on:

* what interviewers usually look for

* common mistakes in mock cold calls
