Booooom 💥

This was a really great conversation and one I had been looking forward to for a while. I have been following Figures and the work Virgile have been doing with Figures for the last year or so.

Not only is their work impactful and a much needed innovation to compensation benchmarking and transparency, but their internal culture also seems to be really solid and genuinely unique

I wanted to take a "look under the hood" in this conversation with Virgile and it was a lot of fun!

Some of the conversational threads we explored:

💡The Figures founding origin story
💡Creating a culture of entrepreneurship
💡Generational challenges to traditional working models
💡The value (and perils) of high work ethic
💡Accurate and ethical salary benchmarking
💡Running compensation reviews at scale
💡Building culture in an early stage start-up
💡4 day work week Vs 9 day fortnight 
💡Embedding meaningful and actionable cultural values and behaviours

...all in less than an hour 🤯😅
