>culture, the people and what we value as a company.

Curious if you have specific examples.

Culture - I find the engineering culture great, lots and lots of trust, everyone deploys at all times throughout the day, freedom to experiment with new technologies. No one points fingers and the team is all in it together. Non-engineering wise, there is a ton of respect for each other on the team, it's a super positive place to work.

The people - you'd have to get to know them, they're awesome bunch :)

Our values - here's the easiest way to show them: http://www.slideshare.net/Bufferapp/buffer-culture-05

I hope that helps a bit!

Thank you for your response.

I can't help but think that there are tons of places that don't treat people like children and are respectful to each other. I wouldn't want to get underpaid for something generic like this. Just my personal opinion, everyone is different.

I just feel like you are being underpaid by a lot.

Sure! My previous employers were also great places to work, I've been pretty fortunate in my career. I can understand my response may feel generic, if we were having this convo over a coffee or beer, I could tell you in greater detail.

If I was someone just after the money, I could choose to go downtown and work in fin-tech. Everyone has their own motivations, values and desires. Buffer fits very well within mine!

How is it underpaid if you're not living in SF? Some of them are living in countries that are pretty cheap, they actually live much better and save way more than anyone living in SF.

Thanks for the replies and the link, Dan!
