who defines your quarterly goals as a private company?

  My bosses and their bosses and their bosses and so on. Probably the board as well, in the end. I’m a simple Software Engineer, so I don’t really have much insights into that whole side of things.

    but thats my point - its a much smaller group of usually highly invested people if your company is private (even with the quarterly reviews) - with a public company, there are a lot more investors with a lot lower stakes, which manipulates the goals and intentions of the company significantly.

  Or more importantly, how are you goals measured after the quarter? Public markets don't take and mitigating factors into consideration when your financials tank the way a private company does.

    Your investors (and potential investors) have a take, certainly.
