One of the companies in the article, GrantTree, is run by swombat (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=swombat). It's an interesting perk. I can see it being amazing for staff retention, but only if your staff are the sort of people who really want to work at the company. It definitely wouldn't work for a lot of companies.

You are absolutely right. I work at GrantTtree and hiring for purpose is definitely a fundamental part of the equation. That and trusting your colleagues and keeping an honest feedback-friendly environment. It's certainly not as simple as one might think.
