Our Values
Velocity
* Learn Fast, Fail Fast, Fix fast
Embrace doubt, and consider mistakes a part of the learning experience.
Velocity is what makes us different from more established companies
and our competitors. It is what makes us beat the competition, keep
customers happy, and iterate until we have found the right way to move
forward.
We are a Learning Organization above all, and we can't learn without making mistakes.
Iterate and Learn
* Start with the smallest solution that works and build it end to end.
When in doubt, err towards the simplest, fastest way to move forward.
The right way to build things isn't to build them piece by piece, it's
to build smaller versions of them and iterate. Consider the User
experience the one piece that must be delivered, and work backwards from
there.
Unity
* All working together towards the same goal
We believe in our team, and in their expertise. We built a team of
incredibly smart individuals and we rely on each other for success.
Empathy
* Think how your actions impact others
The ability to put ourselves in the place of our customers and other
team members is what helps us drive the right decisions at every
instant. **
Ownership & Accountability
* Nothing wrong with making mistakes
We believe empowering people brings positive change. We each own our
decisions and actions, and we are responsible for creating value that
derives from those actions.
Clarity & Transparency
* Say what you do, do what you say
We believe in a culture of Transparency. We do things in the open.
We're also responsible for making sure others are aware of what we're
working on, and the help we need to make it happen.
Balance
* Work/life balance
Work/life balance is critical. No good things from breaking it. Enjoy
your family and your life so you can bring your best self to work.
