An unusual aspect of Seattle Area Startup Statusig-which on Tuesday announced the pending $ 1.1 billion pending through the Open-the company's policy to work in the office.
Since launching four years ago, Vijay Raji, CEO of Statusig, has begun the need for employees to work in the office five days a week.
This post is a remarkable opposite with hybrid and remote work methods after the disease, which is common in many startups to date. According to the Flex Index, only 17 % of the companies with 500 employees or less companies are full -time.
In a blog post on the acquisition of Madrona, Managing Director of Madrona, Madrona, emphasized on the company's office policy, which is the largest open of openness, which is the largest open, in Statusig.
“At a time when the world was detected by a remote and hybrid model, the Status Office doubled five days a week,” he said. “This choice promotes culture with a high -performing, deeply cooperative. It is a reminder that sometimes the easiest choices produce the strongest foundations.”
As we reported last year, Raji initially intended to be fully personally for the first year of Statusig and then intended to open the hybrid model.
But the startup, which now hires 155 people, personally worked the environment so well that they decided to continue.
Raji, who led Facebook's Seattle Engineering Office, cited various benefits from working together daily before the launch of feature management and experiments in 2021-including rapid decision making, improved real-time cooperation, low friction and strong social bonds.
In a recent video, Statusig employees echoed the points, which also called for energy, free lunch and pets in the office.
Employees have a way to work at home or elsewhere to take care of personal problems. There are also sales people in Statusig who work from different time zones.
But the baseline will be expected in the office five days a week.
Raji recognizes trade relations-limiting the cost of the office, time passing, time, and limiting the ability to get a more widespread services around the world.
But especially for Startups who are just descending from the ground and trying to scale, Statusg's point of view – and later success – is a proof of working in the office simultaneously.
Raji said last year, “Especially at the beginning, where you are trying to advance all other smart people in the world, I think if you can benefit from somehow or in another way, take it.”
His thinking is associated with Openi's CEO Sam Altman, who said in 2023 that startups are the most effective when they are working in the office.
Many companies, including Amazon, bring the workers back to the office after a shift in the remote work.
Startups can definitely succeed with hybrid or completely remote work work. Earlier this year, we reported about Chingor, a 4-year-old CyberScureti company, with physical offices zero-and raised $ 356 million in April at a price of $ 3.5 billion.
“When it comes to hiring services as a remote, he gives his company a huge advantage,” said Dan Lorenk, CEO of Chingor. He also said that it is important for the company to regularly have a structure to fulfill the events and cadities.
According to the Flex Index, the average US firm needs corporate employees to stay in the office 2.87 days on Saturday, which also states that government companies with “fully flexible” office policies (remote or employees' choice) have increased the mandate rate of 1.7X.
