"Some of our most attractive features are flexible time, exciting projects, our plans and culture are driven by the idea of a positive future for the world, awesome co-workers easy to communicate and work with and one of the main important points is that we have a leader not a boss, which makes the environment perfect for growth and gives you the mentality to be always hungry and pushing ahead.”- Nacer Benaissa, Head Of Operations.
We believe business world needs a new employment framework that facilitates mutual trust, mutual investment, and mutual benefit and we try to represent that.
This framework encourages you to develop you personal network and act entrepreneurially without becoming mercenary job-hoppers. It allows us to be dynamic and demanding but discourages us from treating you like a disposable asset. Instead we look to form an alliance.
In an alliance, us as an employer and you as an employee develop a relationship based on how we can add value to each other.
“Help make our company more valuable, and we’ll make you more valuable.” -Russ Hagey, Bain & Company’s chief talent officer
,“We are going to make you more marketable [in the labor market and give you opportunities to grow your skills and resume” - Jack Jay CEO Persist Ventures
We are proud to represent the same mission as NGO’s and non-profits, as a company but use the business world to our advantage in helping make change possible. In a standard fortune 500 company pushing towards crafting works of similar nature, it is funded by venture capitalists who only care about the monetary return.
Instead Persist Ventures is growing its ability to reinvest in altruism to the fullest. Jack published his own viewpoints on why selflessness represents perfect selflessness on goldenmeme.org
“I believe in 30 years robots will be smarter than humans, causing almost infinite access to resources. Real value all along will be defined along who made the world a better place for those during this time before that point.” - Jack Jay Founder Persist Ventures.
Our job is to create career-trajectory-changing opportunities for you, and your responsibility is to take advantage of exposure to the experiences here to grasp that opportunity and create long-term value for the future.
It’s up to us to create an environment where you will decide to stay and invest their time. A general rule of thumb is that an initial transformational tour of a duty at our company lasts two to five years. It’s a time period that seems to be nearly universal for any organization or industry. In the software business, the two- to five-year term fits with a normal product development cycle, allowing you to see a major project through. In the consumer packaged goods business, companies like Procter & Gamble (P&G) start their new brand managers on a two- to four-year tour. Making a real commitment allows you to accomplish something substantive.
As Intuit CEO Brad Smith said, “Year 1 [of the tour] lets you gain the important context for the role through hard work, year 2 is about putting your definitive mark on transformational change, and years 3 to 5 are about implementing and growing your successes the mastery of your craft.
Foundational Jony Ive at Apple. Fred Smith at FedEx. Ginni Rometty at IBM. These are people whose lives are fundamentally intertwined with their companies. These are people on a Foundational tour of duty. Exceptional alignment of employer and employee is the hallmark of a Foundational tour.
If you see working at our company as your last job, and you perform good works you will be considered to be on a Foundational tour of duty. Our company is there to help facilitate your career and even life, and you will have become one of the foundations of our company. At this time our life’s work will be intertwined. The Foundational tour recognizes and formalizes that reality.
