At the risk of sounding trite, this famous Margaret Mead quote expresses why we get out of bed in the morning. We believe that high-performing teams working together toward a shared goal is the key to making great things happen. Figuring out how to make teams great is at the heart of what we do.
We trust you to use your best judgment about where and when to do your work. Take a vacation when you need it, work from home while you wait for a delivery, share a beer after work with your team, have a retrospective over breakfast!
Because we’re self-managed, everyone gets to make big, important decisions and run a real, profit-earning business.
We are a young company, with lots of growth ahead of us. We are also sure that we don’t know everything yet, and we are eager to build something together.
Continual improvement is core to how we operate. Every team member is given the resources and full commitment of the company to accelerate their career development.
Our clients and partners are everywhere. If you enjoy delivering work to clients across different cultures and time zones and enjoy travel (once it's safe again), you have the chance to experience some of the most interesting places in the world.
We believe that healthy employee retention relies on engagement and connection to the collective purpose. We don’t believe in negative retention tactics and do not ask team members to sign non-compete or non-solicitation agreements.
We are committed to sharing all information about our business internally and share as much as we can with the external world. Check out our public drive to see this in practice.
