We recently redesigned our Careers page. The thing is data visualization is evolving at is fastest pace ever, and so are we. And to keep evolving, we need the smartest people we can find to come work with us. So a careers page that sums up our vision, the everyday challenges we work on and our culture, and does it all in a oh-my-god-I-am-getting-goosebumps way was a only natural first step.

But before we got to that, we wanted to get our inspiration sorted out. We wanted to get some goosebumps ourselves. We went hunting on the big monstrous World Wide Web, and boy, inspiration we did find. We had to impose a deadline so we could come back to the world and actually start working on our own Careers page.

We like talking to our customers. Over email, phone calls and face-to-face meetings at tradeshows, we discuss how they are using FusionCharts, the problems they are facing and new capabilities they would like to see added to it. They are generous with their feedback and often have nice words to say about us. Over the last couple of quarters, we noticed something interesting. Shocking, actually. A lot of our customers were asking for features that were already there in the product. At times, they sent us 4-5 feature requests only to know that all of them were there already. And then we thought to ourselves – if our customers don’t know everything they can do with the product after they have paid money to buy a license, what about the first-time visitors? What about people who are just looking around trying to find a charting component to meet their requirements? Even though we have a vast product literature with real-life demos, chart galleries, extensive documentation and more, something was missing. What we didn’t have was something that covered FusionCharts in an all-round manner. Something that talked about everything FusionCharts can do. And that’s when we decided to create our shining new product tour.

Make me feel special!

A picture speaks a thousand words – while we are not very sure about the origin of this phrase, we definitely know about its origin at FusionCharts. It’s been here right from the day we started. We decided to take it a step further when for every team member’s birthday, we decided to add a picture gift to the standard fare of cake, gift and card.

Here’s…

The Internet’s funny way of being, err, funny!

Even though we love what we do, there are times when we need to stop thinking about the bars and and the pies. Ok, maybe not the bars. While we do the walks, the coffees, the talks and the smokes, there is something else that makes for a pretty awesome break too – quick and refreshing – “Internet funny”. With the Internet, there are so many ways of being funny…
