Our Philosophy
Here are a few key points (relevant to the go-to-market side) that should give you an idea of what it is like to work with us:
- We believe a highly differentiated product is a lot easier to sell, so we continually invest in product innovation and this has proven to be a sustainable source of competitive differentiation.
- We always aim to show up well prepared and with deep industry acumen. This caliber of customer experience is another way we differentiate.
- We strongly believe that small teams with very talented people (and the right work environment) deliver much better performance than teams with large headcount. We hire and compensate accordingly.
We value a strong sense of ownership, principled thinking over experience, and thoughtful communication (we put a lot of effort into using the right communication channels) - we’ll get into these and other values during the hiring process.
Benefits
- You’ll get the time to do things the right way; we put a lot of emphasis on high quality work and avoid quick hacks, but equally move with precision and urgency
- Competitive compensation, including equity
- 10-year exercise window for stock options. You shouldn’t feel pressure to purchase stock options if you leave Ashby —do it when you feel financially comfortable.
- Unlimited PTO with four weeks is recommended per year.
- Twelve weeks of fully paid family leave in the US. We plan to expand this to employees in other countries as situations arise.
- Generous equipment, software, and office furniture budget. Get what you need to be happy and productive!
- $100/month education budget with more expensive items (like conferences) covered with manager approval.
Compensation Range: $110K - $140K
