As Engineering Leaders we have excelled at investing time and money on stick-based-tools. Creating dashboards, maturity checklists, progress reports: All ranked worst to best with lots of red.

That is not how motivation works…

It’s time we give some carrots.

We help companies proactively cultivate their engineering culture through towards-motivation rewards instead of quit-invoking return-to-work policies or meaningless swag.

And we do it all with a bit of humor.

Hi. I’m Dominic, creator of the Carrot Farm

Hi. I am Dominic Scimeca and I have spent the last 20 years working in high level engineering role in technology companies. I have learned that most companies have not developed the tools they need to recruit, mentor, train, retain and develop their top technology talent. While all companies have developed robust sales rewards programs, few have invested a commensurate amount of energy and resources to nurture and develop their technology groups. It is time to change that.

I have created this program to help you engage your talented tech personal, to train them appropriately to hone their skills, and motivate them to exceed their job descriptions and motivations. And the result is long term retention, and both personal and professional growth.

You have the opportunity and responsibility to proactively develop meaningful engagement and rewards programs that will motivate them to excel expectations and display outstanding behavior.

It is more than just a salary, and it is more than just a pat on the back, a water bottle, or whatever carrot you have been offering them.

Let’s together create the carrots that will empower your tech talent to excel.

How we work with you

We have developed three different areas where you can train, engage, motivate, and reward your technology talent.

Engineering Team Building

  • Team Conversations and Retrospectives

  • Kickoffs, Town halls, and on-campus events

  • Offsite Meetings, relevant in-person activities

Software Excellence Training

  • Online Training, Technical Skills Development

  • In Person Team Training

  • Excellence Compliance Software

  • Internal and External Certifications

These three pillars hold up great engineering cultures, satisfied, progressing engineers, and ever-green technology stacks.

Rewards and Recognition

  • Engineering Competitions

  • Company Initiatives

  • Formal Rewards Programs

I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent.

- Tony Robbins

What have others to say about all this

We know it is a lot to think about.

Just relax.
