I won’t go too much into the complexity of dealing with that, but the flexibility helps.Culture Amp is an employee analytics platform that specializes in staff surveying and analytics.Ĭulture Amp makes it easy for culture-focused companies to collect, understand and act on employee feedback and improve employee engagement, experience and effectiveness.Ĭulture Amp was founded in 2011 by Didier Elzinga, Douglas English, Jon Williams, & Rod Hamilton. “The flexibility to move around is great because I have family back in California and close friends in Melbourne. By the end of the year, we’re expecting to have around 250, making it a very real part of Culture Amp’s business.”įilip had planned to return to California after graduating in October but now has two good reasons to stay in Melbourne – while still having, given Culture Amp’s San Francisco office, the option to move. “When I started, we had zero customers on the new product and now we have 15. “I’ve spent more than six weeks working on this new product launch,” Filip says. That’s why it’s a pillar in our overall business strategy.”įilip is chuffed that his internship work, which included identifying that Culture Amp needed to start collecting new data to make some important decisions, led to a full-time job at the company, which is now adding 50 new clients a month to its customer base.
Helping our customers to collect and connect new types of feedback magnifies the value we can create. “Effectiveness is only Culture Amp’s second product.
“It strips out the biases that occur with performance-based feedback,” Peter says. It just seemed like a natural fit.”įilip proved such a good fit that he is now in charge of its new product, Effectiveness, which flips the popular 360-degree employee feedback process on its head to make it a tool, optimised for learning and development rather than performance assessment. “His experience at a fast-growth start-up and his passion for what we do was obvious from the time he opened his mouth. “When I delivered the internship pitch this year, I was impressed with all the people I spoke with, but Filip really stood out,” said Peter. Vice President of Business Development and Strategy Peter Haasz (MBA 2011) is a Melbourne Business School alumnus who has used his MBS connection to recruit MBA talent for internship work at Culture Amp for the past few years. The network that I built up at Melbourne Business School put me in a great position to land the job, and the skills I developed helped me think more analytically and creatively when solving problems.”Ĭulture Amp was started by Australian entrepreneur Didier Elzinga in 2011 and has offices in Melbourne, San Francisco, New York and now London. “I never thought I would be working before my MBA finished,” Filip says.
CULTURE AMP SAN FRANCISCO SOFTWARE
It’s pretty cool being involved in a niche that includes some of Australia’s best tech start-ups,” says Filip who moved to Melbourne to do his MBA after four years at 99 designs.Ĭulture Amp’s employee feedback and analytics software is used by Adobe, Etsy, Airbnb, Pinterest, Slack, Coca Cola Amitil, Cricket Australia and hundreds of other top brands to assess performance and improve engagement and workplace culture. “I seem to have a bit of a history working for Australian start-ups that have expanded into the US. He’s now a Product Manager at Culture Amp in Melbourne after doing an internship there as part of his MBA. Australia, and Melbourne in particular, is home to some globally renowned start-ups – think Atlassian, Redbubble, 99designs and Culture Amp – and American Filip Reese, a 2016 MBA graduate at Melbourne Business School, has now worked for two of them.įilip’s first gig, post-university in California, was in the San Francisco office of 99designs, an online graphic-design marketplace.
