From Fast Company to Inc, Sonatype Continues Racking Up Notable Awards
Being a new employee is a lot like being the new kid at school. One of the first things you suss out is the difference between expectations and reality. Sometimes the gap is pretty disappointing.
Other times, there isn’t a gap at all — in fact, reality exceeds your expectations! This is the pleasant situation I’ve found myself in here at Sonatype. I’m constantly impressed by the work ethic, smarts, and damn determination of my peers.
