Every time I see a post from the Basecamp guys and how well they treat their team, it's more depressing than uplifting - just because I know I'll never be good enough to work there, and that they're so unique that no other employer will ever do the same.
- mxuribe 9y agoI hear what you're saying...and I've felt this quite often myself with previous employers. However, I challenge you (in a good way!) to consider using this as a question (or a set of questions) for your next job interview. You like the "basecamp" treatment, that's clear...and ok, maybe no other company might be exactly like them...but this can arm you with some ideas to ask your next potential employer/contract-holder, etc. Think of how you can structure your questions to that potential employer to see if they would value you as an employee like basecamp-type of companies do. It couldn't hurt, right? Best of luck!
- draw_down 9y agoI'm sure they're good but a lot of that is branding. Trust me, when you get on the inside of such "elite" places, they're not as different from your average workplace as you might think.
