How We’re Empowering the Entire Buffer Team to Become Creators
We’re intentionally investing in building a team of Buffer creators as a company-wide initiative. Here's exactly how (and why we're doing it).
Open metrics
A transparent company since 2010
Since 2013, we’ve been open with Buffer’s finances and our team’s salaries, among many other metrics. We share openly because we believe in the power of transparency to build trust, hold us accountable to a high standard, and push our industry forward.
This is a dashboard for anyone to see how we’re building Buffer.
