Description about
team/Company Culture

  1. We are solutions-oriented – we focus on solutions rather than blame when it comes to challenges or problems we encounter.
  2. We are collaborative – the company comes before the individual and we take accountability
  3. We communicate with candour + empathy – with ourselves and with each other (across hierarchies and across departments), we communicate
    1. In a direct and honest fashion
    2. Taking the time to consider the knowledge base (empathetic + using theory of mind)
  4. We are adaptable + always looking for progress – we adapt to new situations and emerging challenges as innovation is at the core of our work
  5. We are daring – we do not shy away from what may seem like insurmountable projects at the beginning because we know that with dedication + creativity, anything is possible
  6. We are responsive – we aim to get back to each other within a reasonable time to be considerate of each other’s time
