PassiveLogic is at the extreme of high performing startups. We have high standards of accountability, and it’s not an environment for everyone. We hire people from all kinds of backgrounds, including traditional industry. Sometimes folks are challenged to jump the chasm from traditional industry to the deep technology industry.
Our culture is exceptionally people-centric, giving our people opportunities to stretch and grow. At the same time, we practice good governance, and therefore we sometimes must let people go when they aren’t aligned with the company’s vision. The author’s discussion of Open Building Control shows that they don’t fundamentally understand PassiveLogic’s technology or business and it’s the reason they are not on the team anymore. While our people ops team approaches these situations with grace, understandably the dismissed employee is not always happy about the outcome.
The company is on exactly the same path today as when it was founded. PassiveLogic is building an unprecedented ecosystem that expands the limits of technology, innovates new approaches to UI/UX, and rethinks convention when it comes to commercialization. Our vision extends beyond conventional building controls. These big goals require cohesive vision across domains, as well as cross-functional team unity. PassiveLogic’s CEO guides this singular vision, informed by his deep domain expertise across design, technology, building science, finance, and business to lead each area of the company in a deeply principled way.
