This post started out as sort of a joke, but then realizing it had been almost a MONTH since my last post, I figured it was time to blog a bit....and as we are currently in a hiring mode; it seems fitting to talk about working here at Compendium. So read on...
The joke really is that people were referring to Compendium as a "sexy" place to work. I am not quite sure what that means, but I think it's something along the lines of it being a trendy, hip place and after a few local awards in regards to growth it seems a legitimate description.
Well, this may all be true --- but whenever I hear of a place being "really fun" and "really trendy" I think to myself "this company is going to last a REALLY short time". I guess we all, for the most part, love our jobs around here at Compendium, talking to perspective clients about blogging for business --- but I don't think it has anything to do with our posh office space (that has randomly bad smells, lacks a greeting area and is lightyears away from "modern"). It's sort of like social media tactics...you can do a lot of really hip and trendy things, but what is this getting you? They might be cheap, cutting edge; but they are also time consuming and require some 'heavy lifting' from the IT team to make them work properly. Compendium Blogware on the other hand is a search tactic that works --- without those "cool" plug ins and tinkering that a traditional blogging platform takes to make it work.
