Reactie van Crayon Data
7yHello! Thank you for being direct. It's a trait that runs through us Crayons.
We pride ourselves in being transparent and honest about our position, at all points in time.
We grew 3x last year and were profitable. We’re also proud to reward our employees well and believe in putting forth whats due for top-class talent.
We listen. We love being told how we could be better. Because we are open to suggestions, we’re getting a lot of things right. Our various committees, our flexible and responsive HR policies are clear evidence of this. Which is why the number of employees who’ve stayed for over 5 years is over 40% of our team. We’re proud they’ve stood by us. And we believe we are reciprocating.
Sure, we have our challenges. especially with cashflows. Which startup doesn’t? But we reinvest every dollar we make in our vision and our people. We are bold to make commitments. And we make sure we keep them, even if we are a little late.
If you had been at our quarterly Demo Day last week, you would have seen how proud people were of their work. How much collaboration there was within and across teams, and how strong the Crayon spirit is.
We've taken note of your views. We also believe that ultimately in a lean organization like ours, the focus on performance will ensure high levels of competence.
You’re spot on about our insane ambition. That means we set our sights high. And there’s pressure to get things done. That’s what start-ups are for. And the great thing is - that’s what's attracting top-notch talent continuously to Crayon. They can stand the heat in the kitchen. In fact, they seem to want it.
We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t like that pressure. And we wish you well, where you are.
