Polly is a fast growing company that has one of the largest Enterprise user bases in both Slack and Microsoft Teams. Our mission is to empower teams to measure and understand every aspect of their work, and we're doing it by bringing new levels of automation to the old way of running surveys.

Come in and have significant impact on the product, the architecture, and the company. Our stack is Typescript/Node/AWS/Mongo, but for our candidates we don't care about your stack history, just your ability to produce clean, high quality code and solve complex problems.

We offer our remote employees a Zoom account, hardware setup, budget for home office or a local coworking spot, and 99% of your insurance premiums covered for you and dependents. We also offer fully-paid 16 weeks of maternity leave.

We support hundreds of paying organizations and close to a million users.

We're undergoing a period of rapid growth (both in headcount, revenue, and usage). We're HQ'd in Seattle, are opening an R&D center in Vancouver, and are hiring Senior Developers anywhere in US or Canada. We're also looking for an Engineering Manager based in Seattle, and a Product Manager.

Apply here: https://www.polly.ai/careers#open-positions or by emailing jobs@polly.ai

I think Cisco spark is a niche product that is going to be important to big enterprise, but solely as a communication tool, specifically to facilitate meetings and calls. Just my opinion, but I don't think it has much of a future has a 'hub' of all activity for a company.

I think mattermost is an appealing alternative, but don't think it has the potential to dominate the enterprise market, but more develop as a successful niche player for the most security conscious companies. It's also something I imagine the other players will address at some point for some kind of a premium enterprise offering.

I think Michael Seibel says it himself somewhere else - yes you do want smart money. But the reality for 95% of the time you just need money. The founders make or break the company, and optimizing for just the best investors is optimizing for the 5%.

The other reality is that majority of startups will fail to raise money. So unless you're truly hot s*, raise from anyone including so-called "dumb money" as long as they dont add negative value by pestering you or doing something similar.

Startups die cuz they can't raise or run out of money. Usually a symptom of something else, but don't die cuz you only chased smart money.

especially if there were animations going on in those ads. Most battery savings come during (even super short) periods of idle time, when various hardware components can enter lower power states
