Nomio

Nomio is building a new sort of company, where talent is recognised and ownership encouraged. Feedback is open and honest, and is encouraged across the team. We're a young team, and so we're aware that 'we don't know what we don't know'. That awareness has manifested in an incredible culture, where honest communication and feedback is a core part of our development and growth.

I joined the business when we had two customers. In the course of the year, our revenue has grown 50x and our client base has grown to include banks, governments, tech companies, professional sports teams and film production companies.

We are unashamed about hiring smart, driven people, setting them an objective and giving them a framework to achieve that objective, and letting them get on with it.

You are given a lot of autonomy both to decide what to work on and how to do that work. At the same time, people are always happy to help and provide thoughtful and intelligent support and feedback. That combination has taught me a lot and prepared me for many different jobs.

People at Nomio are very intelligent. As a result, the quality of the work done is extremely high, which is reflected everywhere. As an example, the organisational set up of the company is very structured, ensuring that people waste no time in useless meetings. The high standards across the company encourage me to be at my best.

I have found the energy at Nomio to be incredibly easy to adapt to. It is a culture of ambitious, young, funny, intelligent, and laid back people working together in a structured way, driven by the same mission. The founder and early employees have done an excellent job at setting the right tone for feedback and interactions between colleagues. They have done so by hiring people who fit the culture, which make it a very natural one. I am genuinely excited to come into the office every day.

I've never worked at a place like Nomio. The team is full of extremely intelligent, driven and kind people. I always thought that working at a start-up would be chaotic, but the systems and processes they have make the whole experience feel so "zen". What we're building is really hard to do, and we're encouraged to be bold and pro-active, which means the learning curve is steeper than anywhere else I've worked.

I love the culture around feedback - everyone here is so pro-active in giving and receiving feedback which means we can all work at our very best. There is also no hierarchy around feedback - no-one is exempt from giving and receiving feedback and it's always seen as a gift, not an attack.

Our product is pretty awesome. Nothing like it has been built before, and I genuinely think it's going to change the way the business world (and beyond) interacts with documents, unleashing the power of databases to the world of documents.
