It was my absolute pleasure to serve as CEO and work with such amazing talents.
Pros
We moved fast and broke things. We worked on cutting edge projects with superb clients both large and small. We had an amazing company culture, it truly was fun to come to work each day. We adopted a remote first policy before COVID hit and not only grew through the tumultuous times, we created processes that reinforced our quality and made us better. When exiting and selling the business, we made sure our employees would significantly benefit in their transitions as well and many of them are now in leadership positions at the acquiring company. We took care of our own.
Cons
As a startup, we couldn't pay people what they were worth so we tried to make it up in other ways. For those that stuck with us, we rewarded them with salaries they deserved as well stellar benefits and 8% 401K contributions (not match, contribute).
