✨ Our Culture

TL&DR - Pulley is not a good fit for everyone, and that’s OK. This is a bit about the culture of Pulley. We need people who aren’t just interested in working at a startup; we need people who are excited about building a great company. In addition to function-specific skills, here are some traits that enable our team members to thrive:

First Principles Thinking -- We believe in breaking down problems into their most basic parts. We don’t reject ideas because they haven’t worked before. We understand “why did certain things work?” and apply it to our situation.

Ship It & Iterate -- Shipping is the starting line for learning. Ship something, talk to users, get feedback, and iterate. We focus on the inputs - on what we can control - not the outcomes. We take our best bets, and don’t fixate on the finish line.

Boldly Honest & Aggressively Considerate -- Being boldly honest means we push one another to act from first principles, set and hit goals, and ruthlessly prioritize. Being aggressively considerate means we care about each other as humans to win as a team. We speak up and embrace feedback.

Default Yes -- We believe that something is possible unless proven otherwise. Hard problems are often solved by people who didn’t know it was impossible.

We’re also inspired by the culture work done at other companies and plan to develop our own playbook here too. One of the concepts that resonate most with us is the importance of stunning colleagues.

If you like the sound of our environment and you’re passionate about joining a team like the one we’ve described, we'd love to talk!

Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

1. Background Screen (30 min)

• Introductions (5 min)
• Relevant Experience and Questions (20 min)
• Questions from you (5 min)
• Format: You will be meeting (call or zoom) with Nimesh Perera or someone on the team to understand what motivates you in a new role, dig deeper into your experience, understand how you spend your time, how you elevate content marketing and keep a high bar, and your overall writing voice. At the end of this session, Nimesh will gather writing samples and/or a writing portfolio from you.

2. Hiring Manager Screen (40 min):

Format: You will be meeting (call or zoom) with our hiring manager. This conversation will dig a little deeper into some or all of the following:

• Your background
• Your work/writing samples
• Understanding how you work across different mediums and channels
• Assess visuals and written competencies

What you should expect:

• Ideally, work samples or past work should give us a good understanding of who you are as a content marketer and the tone and voice you can bring to a company/product.
• We should have a clear idea of who you were working and collaborating with and what your role was on the team/project.
• Be sure to touch on the goals of the project, timeline and scope, if the project accomplished the goals, and any metrics of success.

3. Prompt / Writing Ideation (~1-3 hrs)

Format: You will be given a take-home assignment to complete on your own time. This will later be presented to the team. There is no hard deadline on completion, but ideally within 1-2 weeks.

What you should expect: ‣

The goal of this prompt is to ensure fit and readiness for the role. The assignment will reflect the strategic AND executional aspects of the role. We also want to make sure you’re excited by this kind of work.

Since your work will span the entire marketing funnel, we ask that you complete two of the three tasks in the document. If we like your work, we’d love to use it — in which case, we will of course compensate you accordingly.

Submit your assignment via Google Docs. Include external links as needed.

4. Prompt Walkthrough with Team (45 min)

Format: You will be meeting with our hiring manager, Laura Peng, and potentially a few others in the team to present your submission. Expect this to be a combination of a 15-20 min walkthrough and a Q&A session as opposed to a full 45 min presentation.

What you should expect:

Everyone will have reviewed the submission before joining. We ask that you come ready to share your screen and to walk us through your thinking. We will focus the discussion on (a) why you chose the specific prompts you picked and (b) your process for ideation and development.

In the second half of the conversation, come prepared to talk about how you like to work cross-functionally. In this role, you will be expected to work autonomously with others, provide context on input requests (if any), and ensure others are aligned with your goals and timelines.
