The value equation changes entirely. In some places average tenure is only 18 months. Yes, you might want to work everyone 80 hours to make that work. On-boarding is expensive so you skip it. You need value day 1. The relationship is exploitative.

Going public was yet another funding event. We threw a party (themed: we qualified for the big leagues. Because its the beginning not a destination). And again didn't change that much. No one bought a lambo. We just kept working on the problem we fell in love with.

I'm home at 5:30pm every evening. I don't travel on the weekend. I play video games alone, with my friends, and increasingly with my kids. My job is incredible, but its also just a job. Family and personal health rank higher in my priority list.

We don't burn out people. We give people space. We love real teams with real friendship forming. We understand the power of individual potential and proximity. Even our floor plan is designed to give small teams a pod all to themselves.

We still have a FIFA tournament! Winner in ottawa will play the montreal office winner in the new year, it has been a great way to meet other employees and gain context. Awesome thread, I think until you work here you can’t even really understand how true all of this is.
