10yThanks for the feedback, the GREAT description of our culture, and keeping the secret of onboarding. You are right about perks -- we will never out-perk Google. It's funny, though. In the 1000s of interviews I've done over the years, I often ask people where they liked working the most and why. In all those years, I have never had anyone say the reason they liked a job was the perks. What people consistently value is great relationships with colleagues, a sense of purpose in what they're doing, and the feeling of having real impact -- all things we strive for at Medallia. When perks come up, it's often associated -- counterintuitively -- with where people like working least. Why? Because sometimes people stay in places they don't like because the perks are too good. Bottom line: I couldn't agree with you more -- our perks are less than those offered by the giants in the Valley and that maybe that's not such a bad thing in the end.
Thanks for your suggestion of increasing corporate communications. If you have specific ideas, could you please share them with the marketing department? They are working on an internal communications plan and would welcome your feedback.
Thanks again!
