Funny to see it rubbed so many people the wrong way. It actually stood out in a positive way to me, I read it as “we want people who bring projects to the finish line, including if they are challenging”. The reason I would see it as a positive is that I would expect the existing culture to reflect that, and it’s a quality I value in colleagues. As a shared culture it also seems like a good trait for a growing company.
- user_named 4y agoAre they're existing employees not doing that, so that's why they need to hire such a person?
- divbzero 4y agoIt seemed a net positive to me too. Presumably, you would join a fast growing company for a challenge and not just to coast or “quiet quit“. You would want colleagues who feel the same esp. if chunk of your compensation is locked up in equity.
- itronitron 4y ago>> “we want people who bring projects to the finish line, including if they are challenging” I think that statement would attract better candidates than wanting gritty people. One reason for that is that very capable people need less grit to succeed than others that are less capable.
- worthless-trash 4y ago"Grit" without the abrasiveness.
- JohnFen 4y ago> I read it as “we want people who bring projects to the finish line, including if they are challenging”. Which makes it content-free, because that's what every company is looking for anyway.
