Company Culture
Making our ambitious vision a reality will not be easy. So we don’t hide the truth…it’s not easy to work here. We’re bringing together a special team obsessed with their work and cultivating a culture characterized by many things, including but not limited to:
• Big ambitions matched by uncommon hard work & commitment;
• A high degree of autonomy and a builders mindset: “Stop complaining, Start solving”;
• Radical obsession over our audiences;
• Uncompromisingly high standards for quality & creativity;
• Relentless accountability & ownership;
• Overwhelming transparency matched with direct communication & feedback;
• A-typical encouragement of failure & learning;
• Desperate pursuit of truth and goals as opposed to looking good;
Our company culture will indeed evolve over time, but many of these values are fundamental to what we do and who we are and, therefore, will not change. Every day, we strive to live as closely to these values as we can, and of course, it doesn’t always happen.
We’re still very early in the journey. Paddling out to catch the big wave. So it’s an exciting time balanced by the reality that creating something special is uncommon and requires uncommon commitment.
For those with similar ideals come be uncommon with us — we look forward to meeting and working with you!
