Investing in Engineering Culture Attracts Engineer
Updated: Jun 21, 2021
I have been a software engineer for most of my life but until I joined Wix I had not worked in a place that put engineering as a core value. In Wix I had the opportunity to change that and one of my main goals was to create a great engineering team and a company with great engineering culture. One of the reasons I took upon myself this task was selfish, I wanted to work at a place that I will be happy to come to work every day, to be challenged and a place that software engineers can be proud of their profession.
Another task that I had ever since I joined Wix, was to grow the engineering teams and bring on more developers. This was in perfect alignment to my own agenda since I believe that in order to attract the best software engineers we had to create a great engineering culture, promote it, share our knowledge with the community and by doing so to be more attractive and competitive to attract talented engineers.
Operating in a highly competitive area with many startups and deep pockets companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft the options for good software engineers are endless. The best way to attract talent is not by offering extra high salary since we would always lose to larger and more established companies like Google or Microsoft which can always outbid anything we can offer. Having a great engineering culture, giving back to the community and taking care of our employees is a great way to compete and attract professionals.
In any case this has been my theory and now for the second year I can say it is working pretty good for us.
Looking at Google trends I have compared search keywords for people who are looking for a job at the leading companies here in Israel. Comparing "wix jobs" to "google jobs" and
The subject of supporting independent study in secondary school feels more interesting when there is room for a reader to stop and ask their own questions. A clear plan for reviewing work can make revision more deliberate. That connection helps me see why secondary independent study can be worth a closer look. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. How can a learner identify what to practise instead of simply rereading everything?
I find building confidence in continuing education easier to think about when there is a concrete question to start from. A manageable first assignment can help learners understand the pace and expectations of a course. This is why I would approach continuing education skills with a specific question rather than a fixed expectation. The part I would like to explore further is what happens when the idea meets a real situation with its own limitations. What kind of introduction would make a new learning environment easier to approach?
Considering discovering Slavic languages and cultural connections, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. Comparing familiar-looking words can reveal both connections and differences between languages. For me, that is a useful way into the broader subject of Slavic language learning. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. How would you help learners avoid assuming that similar words always mean the same thing?
A conversation about making music practice meaningful in Legnica seems most useful to me when it leaves space for uncertainty and further questions. A short phrase practised attentively can be more useful than playing an entire piece without a focus. It also gives the phrase Legnica music education a clearer meaning than a label on its own. A short discussion of an everyday example would make this easier for me to connect with, especially as someone still learning about the subject. How do learners decide which part of a piece needs their attention first?
I can see why introducing electrical and mechanical learning would invite discussion, since different people will bring different experiences to the same question. Seeing how one component affects another can make a system easier to understand. I would use that point as a starting question when considering electromechanical education. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. Which small demonstrations help beginners connect a diagram with an actual mechanism?
