We value experimentation, failing fast and being bold. We practice continuous delivery and fast iteration. We work to avoid politics, gate-keeping, unfairness and toxic behavior. We believe in transparency, even when it’s unflattering. We believe in honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable. We treat failure as a learning opportunity. We believe in ethical and responsible business practices and having a positive impact on the environment and our communities.
