individuals hear about the company and want to work with us for a variety of reasons, mostly variations of they take their work seriously, they want meaningful jobs, they value flexibility & control over their lives, they want to be part of an organization that knows how to help people be successful, they want to do something important

the company has a high degree of trust from its teams (both inside & outside the company), people care about the success of the ventures they are part of, most people say one of the reasons is that they could "never do a normal job again", this is the best job of their lives.

folks work together on fully distributed environments, made up of employees, outside contributers, customers, potential customers all collaborating effectively iacw our processes, we are able to react quickly to changing conditions, folks are compensated competitively but our cost structure is way lower than all of the competitors allowing us to have disruptive prices with hearlthy margins, there is a win, win, win affect because of that.

because of our mature ecosystem (infrastructure, processes, frameworks), it is "easy" for adhoc iterative projects to be formed, allowing all kinds of initiatives and creative solutions to business problems both for the under-served and big outfits.

-- EricSedor - 07 Jan 2010 - 11:38

many folks wander in out, working part time, some work with impediments, this ecosystem unleashes possibilities for folks that normally don't have a chance to contribute, creativity is unleashed.
