Q&A With Fresh Tilled Soil Employees

Lots of challenging, rewarding work on my plate.

The ability to work on challenging problems with very smart and empathetic co-workers.

Very fair health / dental and vision as well as a fair 401K match.

Extremely fair pay, very willing to negotiate and consider addition of generous benefits like unlimited paid vacation, working from home...

It's generous and flexible. We have access to health, dental, vision, short- and long-term care, and a variety of life insurance options.

The team embodies "I've got your back" in everything they do and how they do it.

People often say, "We've got your back". That sums up how people feel about each other and the overall values of the company.

Smart, hard working and willing to stand up for each other.

UX and UI are growing the fastest.

I'd love to see the team spending more time doing informal fun things. Dinners, lunches or just hanging out more. It sometimes feels like we're all too busy with our lives to hang out and just enjoy each others company.

Richard is a strong visionary and capable of making tough decisions when needed. He can be easily distracted so he reminds the team of this weakness and asks them to call him out on it when it happens.

Very fair. It's very rare that someone has to work late hours or on weekends. Like all companies, there will be times when some extra effort is required but there's none of that unhealthy pressure you get at some high tech companies. There's a strong sense of community and family time is respected.

Describe a time when you had to work with others to solve a particularly challenging problem. Can you remember a time when you had very limited resources but were still able to solve a tricky problem? How do you continue to learn about your craft or your interests? What questions did you wish we had asked you during this interview?
