Best People, Amazing Balance
Best People, Amazing Balance
- Work with great (the best) people.
- Fantastic work/life balance with unlimited vacation and flexible work hours.
- People get to work on meaningful things, and the company makes a visible impact on the world.
- As much transparency as is legally possible. Employees get to see almost everything, including board presentations.
Transparency has suffered a little since the IPO, but that is expected.
There is no 401k matching yet.
Individual teams are still very agile, but it's starting to feel like a big company in some ways.
Try to maintain as much transparency as you can.
Continue to push everyone in the company to work hard and break the rules.
