What makes a company worthwhile? Is it their goal? Is it their software?

Those are part of it, but they’re never enough. Yes, “the dream” can help, but at the end of the day what makes a company truly worthwhile is the people you interact with.

Their empathy, their ability to connect, to feel your pain, to compromise to help you.
They might not always be able to help you, but they’ll surely try their best.

A business like that is worthwhile, no matter the goal. If you’re surrounded by good, competent people, that have empathy and care for you, then you’re headed to a success, even though success might not look like everyone’s imagine.
