What It's Like Working with Growing Venture Solutions
GVS is a boutique agency that aims to incorporate open source community values into our company. It is like a mix between being a freelancer and being an employee. Here are some important characteristics of working for GVS:
- Good pay, decent health/dental/vision benefits, expense account for tech gear
- Travel budget to attend DrupalCons, DrupalCamps, code sprints and other conferences if appropriate
- Interesting jobs - tier 1 publishing companies, conference/event projects, bleeding edge technology, social justice organizations
- 20% of your time can be spent working on Drupal community projects or honing your skill set
- Company outings once a quarter
- Flexibility on location (e.g. work in the office for a few hours, then at home for a few hours or work in a coffee shop for the day)
- The team decides on projects to work on, including which clients, which community projects and which side projects
- Company control is a meritocracy where everyone has a path towards equity ownership
- We are flexible. That means occasionally stopping work early if it's too nice a day to stay indoors and also occasionally working outside of "normal" business hours.
- Startups are always a bit riskier than a large company, and this startup requires active participation. We don't have "managers" or "salespeople" because we all do those kinds of tasks all the time (we feel it provides better service to our customers as well).
- We're small. You'll have to take on many roles and responsibilities. If you find yourself frequently thinking "that's not my job" this is the wrong company.
