MenuBuilding Great Engineering Culture
Created 11 years ago in Technology / Software Development
I helped grow the team at Quora from 12 people to nearly 70 and have spent a lot of time thinking about how to shape the culture. I've written extensively about what it means to build a great engineering culture and have spoken to startups and more established companies in and out of Silicon Valley.

He messaged me before our call asking me to send him a list of questions. This shows his attention to detail and his awesome attitude as he wanted us to make the best use of our time during the call.
