In our company, we have people who are with us for 7 to 11 years now. Our Mid to Senior Devs are with us for at least 6 years on average.

Culture plays an important role in keeping the people, it's not always about the money.

Absolutely.

I was at my previous employer for seven years, mainly due to the fantastic culture.

In 2020 that company took a $45M series A investment that rotted the culture of the company from the inside out.

Today, the culture that remains at this company doesn’t reflect what kept me at the company, and most who were integral to the culture are no longer with the company.

It was good while it lasted.


Can you to tell me more how that funding changed people? I have an idea but I am curious to learn it from you.


It’s not that the funding changed people, rather those that built the company were either replaced, left, or laid off.
