Honesty and transparency

We maintain a transparency by sharing information openly, deliberately, and candidly. We don’t shy away from sharing hard truths. On the other hand, we receive constructive feedback with open minds.

We are flexible

Most of us work remotely, not adhering to certain work hours or styles. Everyone is encouraged to do what works for them best. Again, we celebrate results (not the amount of hours clocked in). We also react to industry trends, meaning there are times when we need to recalibrate our plans.

Value Centricity
