          • The most important bit

            At Egg, everyone’s ideas and perspectives are welcomed and encouraged. We’re constantly striving to do better and be better: we give each other feedback regularly, not just topdown from leadership, but bottomup and sideways too! Accountability is key: it’s okay to make mistakes as long as we own and learn from them. People who thrive at Egg have a deep curiosity to keep improving, learning and coaching others.

            Our nest is made up of people from all walks of life and from different social and cultural backgrounds. We believe equity and inclusivity lead to better work and a better world. That’s why, when we’re hiring new people we don’t talk about “culture fit”, but “culture add”.

            We encourage and welcome applications from all genders, BIPOC, members of LGBTQ2S+ communities, and people with visible and nonvisible disabilities.
