Five-Time Honoree
Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private companies in America
Pride of Accomplishment
We are immensely proud to have made the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies for five consecutive years. For over forty years, Inc. Magazine has evaluated company performance and shared annual lists of outstanding performers. It was a revelation when we first made the list. For us, growth was never about recognition or the short-term revenue win. For the team at First Factory, growth is the vital ingredient needed to build resilience into the organization and further opportunities for our employees. Growth allows us to diversify the industries in which we operate, extend the technologies that we use to build products, and expand the roles of talented software development contributors we can bring to the team.
We are selective about working with clients. We must be confident that we can rise to the challenge and exceed expectations while building a long-term symbiotic relationship. Like all good relationships, those we forge with our clients are built on trust, which results from honesty, transparency, quality, and integrity. We believe that once is a fluke, twice is a coincidence, and three times is a habit. We all may be graced with good fortune at some point, but continuing to see and secure opportunities and applying the right skills and effort are what turn those wins into lasting value.
We are extremely proud of the efforts of our dedicated, talented, and passionate team, which accepts the challenge each day and feels more rewarded by the progress we make on the journey than by the view from the first mountaintop.
A Look Ahead
A Look Ahead
We are structured comfortably for scaling again. Our Client Experience and Engineering Management teams have years of experience running complex projects, meeting aggressive deadlines, and mentoring their direct reports. This has led to historically low levels of employee turnover, hovering at just over one percent per month. With more training and career development support, combined with greater client project diversity, our employees remain highly engaged. Our Lifetime Employee Net Promoter Score sits at 77. With our continued sales and marketing efforts and outstanding account management team, we should be able to capitalize quickly on new business opportunities that present themselves. We continue to learn, diversify, and grow, preparing us for what the winds of fortune have in store next.
