Our Culture Always Day 1 • Always maintain an entrepreneurial mindset. Keep pioneering and innovating instead of relying on resources or past achievements. • Stay agile and pursue efficiency and simplicity. Reduce unnecessary procedures.  • Reject complacency. Stay open and humble.



Champion Diversity and Inclusion • Value individual differences, and focus on people's unique strengths. • Think global. Understand and celebrate different cultures, views, and experiences. • Facilitate effective collaboration by assuming good intent and trusting by default. 



Be Candid and Clear • Speak your mind. Expose problems candidly. Avoid "managing up". • Be accurate, concise, and straightforward. Avoid overusing jargon or elaborate terms. • Drive communication and form conclusions with facts, instead of assumptions or emotions.



Seek Truth and Be Pragmatic • Be an independent thinker. Get to the bottom of things. Distill ideas down to their fundamental truths. • Dive deep into facts. Seek direct experience and first-hand data and information. • Be grounded and focus on real impact.



Be Courageous and Aim for the Highest • Dare to take calculated risks for bigger gains, with a focus on return on investment. • Explore alternative solutions in a larger scope for the optimal result. • Insist on high standards. Don't just get the job done, execute with excellence.



Grow Together • Live and be driven by our mission and vision. • Show patience and resilience in the face of short-term fluctuations. Solve problems together. • Keep learning, keep pushing boundaries. Pursue mutual growth with the organization.
