You: Is PostHog better for early-stage startups or large companies with massive scale? Us: Yes

Startups ship more per person than big companies – everyone knows this. But how do you retain that advantage as you scale? Our answer is organizing PostHog into small teams (2 to 6 people) – we're currently 47 people and 15 small teams. The golden rules of small teams... 🍕 They need to be genuinely small 2 to 6 people is ideal. More than this and you have a department, which is what we're trying to avoid. Less than two people and, well, you don’t have a team. Think 1-pizza teams, not 2. 🙋 They run themselves Small teams prioritize their own roadmap, talk to customers, run their own sprints, and generally behave like small, autonomous startups. 🧑✈️ They have one leader Team leaders aren't always managers, or the most experienced team member. We prioritize choosing the best person to lead that specific product. Read more about them in James Temperton's newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eGZnkMM9

At PostHog, we've written job ads that have received 9,000 applicants in the last 12 months. And, recently, the quality of applicants has gone way, way up. Why? 1) We’re putting a lot more effort into making our job ads interesting and unique 2) We only advertise on our own website. Sorry, LinkedIn A lot of people we interview also say they love our job ads. Which is weird. But nice! Here are some tips for how you can write great job ads. First the obvious ones: 📝 Keep your list of requirements as short as possible ‼️ Explain what the hiring process is 💰 For the love of god, say what the salary is Now some less obvious ones: 👩💻 Get someone who can actually write to write the job ad 🤠 Be genuine, or even weird 🚫 Say who the role is not for
