I may have missed this when the news first came out. Pixo gives their new employees a vacation in Hawaii for their first week on the job. Not only do they get their expenses paid (airfare, hotel, rental car, and spending money) but they also get PAID paid. The dollar amount may come out to less than a signing bonus, but ridding yourself of the hassles of arranging vacation logistics may be worth more than money. Of course, it would be nicer if they paid for someone else to go with you. Pixo has an excellent charter: producing easy-to-use software for wireless phones. Founder, Paul Mercer’s “vision is to add value to consumer electronics devices through advanced software technology that maintains the simplicity of the user experience.” I’m glad someone’s looking out for that.
