Why work at Alfresco?
One of the most important requirements for any startup is hiring exceptional people. At Alfresco you get the chance to excel in your chosen field, the opportunity to help shape the future direction of Open Source and Enterprise Content Management, and the challenge of working with some of the best people in the industry.
Here is what some of the team have to say
Luis Sala, Director of Solutions Engineering
As the sun sets on my (lucky?) 13th week at Alfresco, I find myself reflecting on what has been and what will be. Things have been going phenomenally well here, and I must confess that I haven’t been this busy since the early days of the first startup I worked in. The best part is that I haven’t had this much fun in a very long time. I’m gratified to publicly say that I LOVE MY JOB!
Why am I sharing all this? The answer is rather simple; I feel Alfresco is different. The product benefits from a modern architecture developed by a group of brilliant people who have been through this before and understand what the customer pain points are. Also, Alfresco is designed with the intent of obviating the need for different (and incompatible) repositories.
I’ve lost count of the number of customers and prospects who have complimented our product and the way we do business. That’s really the best part! It is truly refreshing to work in such a transparent way. No secrets, no hiding the facts, it’s all out there. My job is to listen to our customers and work with them to determine if Alfresco is well suited to solve their problems.
Of course, there’s always the possibility things might change, but I highly doubt it. Although we’re here to make money, we’re also committed to the success of our customers and partners. Open source affords us a means to trim the fat off the “traditional” enterprise software model and focus on delivering a solution that works. This may sound like a bunch of marketing baloney, but I speak from the heart. I’m glad I can once again look at my customers straight in the eye comforted in the fact that I have nothing to hide.
To my friends and former colleagues in the”other” ECM companies, I have to say “You don’t know what you’re missing!”
Helen Dann, Technical Support Manager
Why do I love working at Alfresco? Because anything is possible.
Everyone in the team is incredibly welcoming and generous with their time - for questions large and small. There is a huge vein of creativity and determination to do the right thing for our customers in the shortest possible amount of time - although the balance between working hard and having fun is there (table football anyone?).
Our customers and partners are our allies, helping to shape product direction either with suggestions or providing the code for us to include in the next release. The enthusiasm really comes across in the Forum, especially with each new release.
It's Open Source, Openly shared and Openly discussed. Can you imagine a better place to work?
