May 27 is my last day at paperboy&co.
I had a great time with gentle people in this 3 years and 3 months. Thank you for all my colleagues!
paperboy&co. is a good company for the following reasons:
- Culture: There are so many nice people here. They gather and play naturally. They love their colleagues, company, and the internet. The culture of paperboy&co. is the most wonderful one I ever seen.
- Progress: They have the will to improve their environment. They made a very good engineer evaluation system. They also are trying to introduce some good method such as Scrum.
- Steadiness: They keep growing. The sales, profit, and stock price are rising in the past few years. They also a member of GMO internet group, one of the largest internet business corporate group in Japan.
- and they paid a reasonable salary :)
However, a 200+ employee organization is too big for me, so I decided to leave from here and go to the other place to suit me more.
From May 28, I will join to Quipper, the mobile e-learning company based on London.
Quipper was founded by Masayuki Watanabe, a co-founder of DeNA, and the engineering team is led by Masatomo Nakano, a famous developer/blogger. They opened Japanese office at the beginning of this year, so it is the best time to join to the small, flexible team.
There are some reasons why I chose Quipper, but the most important one is passion.
During the Skype meeting at my first (and last) interview, CEO said to me:
Really, our platform and service may change the someone's life more better. It's a wonderful thing, isn't it?
I was deeply moved by his passion, therefore it was not possible to ignore it.
I have a dream in my life and work. I want to be a person who work on a world scale, while living in Japan. Since Quipper is a global company (the headquarters is located London), it's a great chance to take the first step into the world.
I miss seeing nice people, but it's my choice. I wish to learn more, so I decided to be the worst guy in the band again.
