The detail here tells me it came from a real place, and it deserves an honest response.
I agree, we have wonderful people.
We run on EOS, which means structured one-on-ones, quarterly conversations, and a consistent feedback cadence. When those processes don't land the way they're designed to, we take that seriously and use it to get better.
I'm proud that we've built multiple divisions across FileMaker, Salesforce, Web, and AWS. That breadth gives our people real options to grow, pivot, and find where they do their best work. Many of our staff come to us straight out of college, and we invest heavily in developing them from day one, including annual training in leadership skills and up to $5,250 a year in college loan reimbursement. That commitment only grows as AI continues to change the craft, an area we are also investing heavily in for our people.
The flexible schedule, varied work, and quality clients mentioned here didn't happen by accident. Those are things we've built deliberately, and we'll keep building on them.
We also fly the entire team in annually for DB Days, a two-day all-hands where we celebrate wins and align on where we're headed. The Plus1 program allows everyone to uplift each other daily and typically leads to more positive reinforcement. I recognize that one event and one program doesn't replace the day to day culture that people actually feel.
Our people are our greatest asset. You stayed five years for a reason. We're committed to being that reason.
