Wow, impressive. Probably not much interest because they trade at a low multiple, but that's quite the company. In my experience the quality of the experience you get when working with a software consultancy/dev shop is inversely correlated to the size of the firm. But I guess it works for others.
- azinman2 6y agoThey probably have enough processes in place and enough longevity to be able to get government contracts, big corp contracts, etc.
- tstrimple 6y agoI've seen the same pattern as well. Growing dev teams quickly without quality drops is difficult. At some point, if you're successful enough in that space, your need to bring in more bodies outpaces your ability to ensure you've got good staff and processes.

- qaq 6y agoThere is a good bunch of companies that got to Billion plus land much quicker than a decade. It is very feasible to do it in 5. You have to realize that most of them were bootstrapped and to grow you need enough resources to have a decent sales office/HQ in US which is out of reach for a long time unless you start with a very solid financial backing.
- varjag 6y agoIf you read my reply in the context I wasn't saying it in a negative way.
- imtringued 6y agoIf you don't have qualified staff then that should be part of your business model and you should be honest about it to your customers. Of course what happens is that managers ride on the reputation for some short term money.
- qaq 6y agoIt's way lower risk and if you can grow 50M into billions thats pretty much Unicorn level returns
- dopidopHN 6y agoI work with them on a regular basis. You are correct, talented folks. But they get the short end of the stick when it come to who does what. Moral is not super high.
