All You Ever Wanted to Know About Automattic
By Erick Hitter (@ethitter)
Lately, a lot has been written about Automattic, Inc.’s distributed workforce, hiring process, and company culture. Despite the coverage, the company behind Gravatar, VaultPress, Polldaddy, and WordPress.com is still a mystery to many in the WordPress community. If you’ve ever wondered how the company started, how we manage a workforce spread across 26 countries, or what relationship we have with the open-source WordPress project, this talk is for you. Have questions about our services? I’ll do my best to answer those as well.
Erick Hitter is a Design Engineer with Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, Gravatar, Polldaddy, and more. As part of Team Custom, he helps create awesome features that let WordPress.com users tailor sites to their personalities with more than just a great theme. He was formerly a web developer with Oomph, Inc., where he specialized in complex WordPress implementations for high-traffic sites, including several on the WordPress.com VIP platform. Erick has created a number of plugins available from the official repository, including WP Print Friendly, View All Posts Pages, and Taxonomy Dropdown Widget, as well as the WordPress.com VIP External Permalinks and View All Posts Pages plugins.
