Most places you work have one or two people who really care. They care about people. They care about process. They care about technology, software design, about doing the right thing the right way.

At Pivotal that's everyone. I've yet to meet a single example of the shrugging "eh, it's just a job" archetype I've previously found elsewhere.

It's so incredibly hard to create this kind of a self-reflective, self-correcting culture. Pivotal's done it and under conditions of enormous growth.

Really. It's the best job I've ever had, by a country mile.

Edit: one more marker.

People come back to Pivotal. It's the first company I've seen with reverse attrition. It's common for Pivots to head to other companies and then come back in less than a year. There's no bridge-burning: if you head out from Pivotal to do something new, you leave as a friend and you can return as one.
