Trust in Teams
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.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead, American Cultural Anthropologist
Life at August
Work-Life Integration
We trust you to use your best judgment about where and when to do your work. Take a vacation when you need it, work offline while you wait for a delivery, travel for an in-person collaboration with a teammate, have a retrospective over breakfast!
Everyone is a member of the leadership team
Because we’re self-managed, everyone gets to make big, important decisions and play a role in growing the business.
Build the culture and business with us
We have an entrepreneurial culture, 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.
Learn Fast
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.
Experience the World
Our team, clients and partners are everywhere. Delivering work to clients across different cultures and time zones, our team has traveled from NYC to Barcelona to Shanghai to Copenhagen to Mexico City to Sydney to San Francisco.
No strings attached
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.
Radical Transparency
We are committed to sharing all information about our business internally, and sharing as much as we can with the external world. Check out our public drive to see this in practice.
