Process and Culture

Think deeper

Build a strong, intentional culture with
a partner who's been there before

Finding the right employees can be difficult. Not only are technical skillsets hard to parse and evaluate, but finding a "culture fit" can be a shot in the dark, or an afterthought. Once they're in the door, turnover can be a function of salary, culture, process, or other factors. Figuring out employee retention can feel like alchemy, but it's a process that can be quantified and made repeatable. With guidance and openness, you can build a strong and sustainable culture that your employees will be proud to be a part of for years to come.
We have helped build teams from the ground up and have turned toxic environments into organizations that attract and retain top talent organically. We are passionate about creating healthy and sustainable teams, and we can help you sow the seeds for your own cultural success story.

Zooming Out

We look at the bigger picture

We firmly believe that culture and process are symbiotic. Process without the culture to support it will be quickly discarded. Culture without process becomes strained or even toxic. We take a wholistic view of your process and culture to improve your velocity, attract great talent, and improve retention.

Process Consultation and Coaching

Even a well-run process can be improved. We teach your engineering management about industry best-practices and help tailor them to your organization. Every company is unique; we'll find a process that works best for you and help you work toward a culture that will respect and maintain it while improving it over time.

Recruiting Pipeline

We can help you write captivating job descriptions to attract top talent and increase diversity. We'll help you find a compelling narrative for why your company is a great place to work and a roadmap to make it even more attractive. We can also help create an onboarding process that will act as a positive feedback loop for your culture.

Retention

A well-run process, a healthy and well-defined culture, and a clear vision for the future will help with employee retention. We'll help you craft an engineering ladder and a vision for your company's future that will keep your employees engaged and provide career advancement for years to come. We will also coach your engineering management on how to build a mentorship-focused and learning-first organization that will last.
