What, you ask, is a GSD? EE prides itself on bringing the best talent to the task at hand, communicating intelligently about the issues around the task, and working smart and hard on getting closer to the goal, whether it’s designing the first version of a system, architecting the database, creating the features, testing, debugging, or whatever else relates to building and supporting great software. To do this, we obviously need smart engineers - but we make sure that our people have more than just smarts. We also test and filter for people with a GSD. It stands for Gets Stuff Done. Own the problem. don’t just work, WANT to work. Get excited, energized about taking on the bigger problem. More important than an MA, PhD, MBA. I recommend hiring people with a GSD.
