1) The people. From the executives down they are professional, nice, and just plain good to work with. Omniture's hiring mantra is: "Mean people suck." And they do, they really do. If any Omniture employee (including Blake) doesn't fit that mantra, they won't last long here. 2) The technology. Omniture runs one of the ten largest MySQL installations in the world. We do 180,000,000,000 SQL queries daily. We have really good gear, no cork-board servers here. At nearly 9,000 Linux servers I believe you will not find many other places in the Orem/Provo area that offer a similar opportunity. With things like our expanding SAN fabric it is just getting better. The recent thread asking how to store a petabyte is a good example. Omniture has well beyond that amount in on-line storage alone. I could go on here, Omniture is doing some amazing things. Our customers purchased the best and we are going to build the right system to support them. 3) The work environment. When Omniture throws a party you don't miss it. It is very much a work hard play hard atmosphere. I walk in the doors in the morning and feel ready to tackle the day. 4) Omniture rocks the competition. Omniture is changing the game in our space. Our competitors have been unable to match our moves. Who wants to play for a loosing team? We have blacked out the rear-view mirror and we are driving like crazy. 5) Long term vision. Omniture isn't out there making snap decisions and driving the bottom line next quarter. Their goal is long-term growth. They are making the best decisions they can now so two or three years from now we will be in a singularly unique position in our space. This concept reaches every aspect of how the company is managed. Omniture is interested in keeping me around for years and years, not just for the "Utah tech" average of 18 months.
Wow. Sounds like we should have hired Ryan as PR director instead of Blake ;) Go Omniture! /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
