Spiceworks Ziff Davis Response
9y
You are correct, we've evolved and we're not the same business we were 5 years ago ... or even 1 year ago. As I've suggested in other responses no business should "be what it used to be". At it's core though we remain dedicated to our mission to help IT pros do their job better every day. And we remain dedicated to our culture of hiring passionate & creative people who like to get stuff done -- with other good people whom they look forward to working with every day. I'm glad you pointed out that we have intelligent and friendly people. I'm surprised you also thought there "quite a few unfriendly people". We're usually able to sort out those situations. I don't follow the 'grasping at straws' comment. We have a lot of experience in IT and advertising and in terms of Austin start-ups we have gotten to a scale few have seen. We've explained the changes we're making and we finished '16 on a high note and have a great start on 2017.
