Tignum Response

We are grateful for this feedback, even if it hurts. Feedback is deeply woven into our culture, and every piece of feedback helps us learn and grow. We appreciate that every person’s perception is their reality, but we would love to respectively share our view as well. TIGNUM is a small company that is making a huge impact by helping our clients rule their impact. What we do is very nuanced and therefore requires not just talent but a highly collaborative, adaptive, and growth mindset approach. We have built a performance culture that we understand is not for everyone. We have worked hard over the years to instill our values of Impact, Innovation, Fun, and Freedom in our culture. But as you can imagine, a culture built on these four pillars requires a high level of self-discipline, self-motivation, and active participation. We invest a lot in our employees, which is often invisible (healthcare, gym memberships, personal development, fun global team meetings, flexible work hours, great workspaces, etc.). With this comes a responsibility for those who join our team to deliver results, to be collaborative, to challenge their own status quo, and to constantly learn and grow. We genuinely thank the person who left this feedback, and above all, we wish them the best in their future endeavors. We will take every one of these comments to heart and apply them to our personal leadership, and company culture, journeys to grow.

Pros

- amazing office space with a no drama, supportive, high-energy culture - great people that genuinely care about you and your personal/professional development. A safe place to try new things and learn from those findings. No bad ideas! - international offices which brings a cool energy and diverse staff. Working on projects internationally is a good growth opportunity for project management/communication skills, and developing relationships across the entire company regardless of location - work is exciting, clients are really interesting, get to work on high-tech and innovative projects unlike anywhere else - laid back & flexible environment that allows you to have your own life while still getting high-quality work done

Cons

- If you’re not a motivated self-starter you will likely have a harder time adjusting, but that’s part of the personal growth aspect - practice self-leadership to get work done. - working across different time zones can be difficult at times, but it’s worth it in the end to have a completed project from different teams.
