An Insider's view of Prefect

What's something quirky about your company?

We give rubber ducks to people we like and every name is a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference. I absolutely love it!

Dylan

Customer Experience Lead

What projects are you most excited about?

I'm very excited about the launch of our new outreach initiatives for the Prefect Community! We are going to host some fun events for our users, such as code-along sessions, live demos, and hackathons. I'm looking forward to exchanging ideas and expanding my own knowledge base with other engineers that use Prefect.

Bianca

Associate Solutions Engineer

What are some things you learned at the company?

Joining the Prefect team has been a catalyst for my career growth. From coming to Prefect as an intern, my managers have been instrumental in my professional development. After I expressed my interest in working as a sales engineer, the whole Prefect team assisted me in learning the necessary skills to transition into the new role.

Matt

Sales Engineer

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

At weekly 1 on 1s, each team member is expected to raise to their manager a problem they've identified. We actually don't expect people to come prepared with solutions, given that identifying the problem is really half the battle. Once the problem is identified, the team member partners with their manager to brainstorm and execute on solving it.

Sarah

Chief Operating Officer

How do your team's ideas influence the company's direction?

The most challenging and rewarding thing about being on the Growth team is that it sits cross-functionality across product and marketing. The ideas from the team impact the core levers of acquisition, activation, and monetization. Execution of these ideas is balanced between being quick builders in a scrappy startup environment and working closely.
