Company culture and hiring tech talent in hyper-growth mode with Jordi Romero (CEO @ Factorial)
We sneaked into 4YFN (4 Years From Now), the startups conference of Mobile World Congress, to host a Startup Grind event - an event within a bigger event.
Factorial acquired Codegram, a Rails consultancy we respect a lot, in December 2019, so this is one of the topics we cover in this interview, and how organic vs. inorganic growth are working out for them, how they make their company culture permeate the lower ranks of the company and how they create new leaders and managers internationally in the context of hyper growth.
It's a shorter episode because we were only given 30 minutes at the conference. We're too much to handle, we guess.
And no. Àlex and Jordi didn't coordinate to have the same boots on the same day. You'll have to check the video to see this.
