Mi-aș dori ca fiecare fondator să comunice acest lucru în mod eficient... Dacă compania ta nu are o definiție clară a "modului în care lucrăm", vei învăța pe calea grea că fiecare decizie legată de talente are potențialul de a se transforma într-o problemă culturală mult mai mare Aceasta este cea mai grea sarcină pentru un fondator

People have asked about our culture and recent employee communications. Cognition has an extreme performance culture, and we’re upfront about this in hiring so there are no surprises later. We routinely are at the office through the weekend and do some of our best work late into the night. Many of us literally live where we work. We know that people who joined Windsurf didn’t expect to join Cognition and while we’re proud of how we work, we understand it’s not for everyone. We gave our team the opportunity to decide. We offered for all employees who joined via acquisition to opt into our culture with full clarity on what entails. We know that we will lose some strong talent in doing this, but we truly believe the level of intensity this moment demands from us is unprecedented. While not everyone is looking for a culture like ours, everyone deserves respect and appreciation for their work. Regardless of their decision, we accelerated and cashed out all four years of equity for everyone from Windsurf, even for the 85% of employees who hadn’t hit their one year cliff. And for those who opt out, we’re providing an additional nine months of pay on top of this.
