I think it is awesome that your company allows you to use infrastructure to test new ideas and learn. It sounds like they have trust in you. Do they encourage you to experiment and try new things? Are these new things ever totally different

Respect goes a long way on all skill levels. I respect those I work with and both those people and I benefit from it. With respect for one another no matter the skill level, we help push each others careers forward.

The Perks category I think is essential and seems to be things that should suit your lifestyle. I think it is important for a company to identify lifestyle needs and help with anything they possibly can. After all it is you and your co-work

This is really cool! You see this more in video game companies to spur thoughts and creativity and improve each other. Do you guys team up at all ever to work on new ideas? Out of the new things you learn and build how have they benefited y

Do you think it would behoove a company to reward its other teams like it does its sales teams?

This is a great point! It is also something me and my co-workers have experienced. We love to build things that not only benefit our company and our goals but our personal careers too. Building and improving our people's careers is rea

I would whole heartily agree with this. I see a lack of company delegation and trust to give Ownership over to its people when those people are full well, if not more than the company, able to make the important decisions. Ownership and Own

I think that this is great and you are valuing trust between you and the company. We are all adults and it is first and foremost your life and time that you have decided to spend with the company. Expectation that it is the company's t

Taking time during the day or when you want can be a huge improvement over a 9-5 job. Sometimes I will work late at night if I need to get things done, otherwise I don't sweat when the work is done. This also allows me to not waste tim

Attending events and networking is a great way for people to get out and change up the pace of work life and learn something new. I think that this is not done nearly as often as I would like it to happen. Especially in the tech world where

That is really cool! Any kind of learning experience to better yourself tends to be a really good motivator. People tend to feel stagnant and want a change if their job is the same over and over and they are not learning anything new or bei
