• We’re a friendly team, we look after each other, and we grow our careers together. 

• We respect everyone’s personal life. After-hours emails are strongly frowned upon, night and weekend work is very rare, and employees are encouraged to pursue their side-hustles. 

• We’re all grownups here, and we trust each other to get the work done, whether at home or in an office or a time zone on the other side of the world. 

• We believe in defaulting to openness. Our calendars, our salary tiers, and our doors are open for all to see. (Except for secret client stuff, which we guard with our lives.)
