About Our Culture

• We are leaders. We embrace leadership qualities at every level. We are owners. No problem is too big, too small or outside of our scope. We act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just their own team. We never say "that's not my job". We seek excellence. We have relentlessly high standards. We believe how you do something is how you do everything. We always choose optimism, especially when things are tough.
• We are doers. We are doers not talkers. We act with urgency to test and iterate quickly. We have a bias for action. Speed matters in business. We take calculated risks and lean forward. We don't shy away from taking action, even when it is uncomfortable or exhausting. We are scrappy. We look to accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency and invention. There are no extra points for growing headcount, budget size, or fixed expense.
• We are learners. We constantly ask questions and rethink our assumptions. We get 1% better every day. Our goal isn't perfection; it's constant and never-ending improvement. We look for opportunity and invite regular feedback as we see it as a gift that we can grow from. We are customer-obsessed, not competitor focused. We focus on our customers and our performance. We stay connected to the people we serve and learn from them. We are one team. We need each and every voice to achieve our ambitious goals. We are one team, one fight. We're in this together, and both success and failure are shared. We are intentional about creating a high-accountability, no-blame culture.
• We communicate candidly and clearly. Clear communication starts with preparation. We respect our team members' time and ensure we come prepared to each meeting or discussion
