From corporate to startup...

The startup scene is definitely a departure from corporate! A few differences....

1.  There are no glass corner offices - the CEO sits amongst the people.

2. Dogs (startup mascots) are allowed! (When we were sharing an office with another startup, Skillshare, they had a dog as well and we kept having to break up fights between them....)















3. Furnishings are sparse, whilst the computers are over the top! Gotta love the juxtopositioning of the old wood tables upon which are resting beautiful, new, all in one, Macs, sometimes turned sideways by coders for easier coding. FYI: computer programmers, obviously one of the most common roles in a startup, are loosely referred to as 'coders'.















4. My desk is different but process mapping  never changes!














5. No one tends to start before 9.30am (except for maybe the poor Sales team), again an influence from coder culture....
