Ghost

We founded Ghost as a non-profit organisation, which means it can never be bought or sold. The perspective that affords us is to think really long term, rather than working relentlessly for the promise of an exit. The result is that we’ve created a place to work and a set of values that we’re very happy to be stuck with. Great people, meaningful work, and the freedom to build a life we enjoy.

We’re big on freedom and responsibility. We hire great people and then give them the space to do their best work, and be measured on the results. We divide the year into 6 project cycles with detailed planning between each one, and try to do as much deep work as possible. Everyone is involved in shaping the future of both the company and the product.

We value diversity of all types at Ghost and our team is made up of a kind, thoughtful group of people with a wide range of backgrounds.

Everyone at Ghost has a 1:1 with their manager every 2 weeks to talk about challenges, goals and anything else they hope to accomplish. We don’t do formal skills development. We believe the best people are self-improving, and so we bias toward trying to support people in achieving their own goals with a generous expense budget for books, conferences, courses, or any other professional development.
