Speaking of hiring (and now that you just got your bonus from Microsoft it’s time to think about jumping ship), Redfin, is hosting Startupalooza in our lobby (308 Occidental Ave S) next Thursday (September 28, 5:30-8pm). It won’t be just us though, the following companies will be looking to hire you: Exbiblio, Blue Dot, Mercent, Bag Borrow or Steal, Farecast, Mpire and Gridnetworks.
"You could spend days surfing around the Web looking for great Seattle start-ups, or you could just come down to Pioneer Square," said Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. "In twenty minutes, you’ll get a sense of the people and the culture at seven of Seattle’s most promising new businesses. Even if you’re not looking for a job, it’s a great way to keep up with Seattle’s start-up scene. Everyone’s invited."
Beer, pizza, startups, good times!
From reading this blog, it seems like Redfin has an awesome corporate culture. It’s rare to see a company that can reward the consumer for being Internet savvy. If you treat customers that well, I’m sure the employees love it too.
I live/work in Phoenix, but I think I might splurge on a last minute plane ticket up to this event. I hope it’s worth it!
Yeah, I’m loving it. It’s great to work for a highly customer focused company.
