Values

They help drive every decision we make and every interaction we have with our clients even when no one is watching (especially when no one is watching)

  • / 01

    Lifelong learning

    We value professionalism, but we appreciate studying and honing your skills even more. We believe that everyone has unique talents and abilities that should be nurtured and developed. That's why we make sure every member of our team knows their superpower and pumps it up.

  • / 02

    Self-initiated leadership

    We feel motivated and able to set and achieve goals and choose solutions without requiring additional guidance or prompting from team leaders. We are committed to fostering a culture of autonomy and empowerment within our team, so that everyone can thrive and contribute their best. We are certain that confident and independent people are key to achieving business goals.

  • / 03

    Inclusion & Diversity

    We are all different — in age, gender, ethnicity, religion, abilities, sexual orientation, and education level. But we truly believe that what makes us different also empowers us and gives us ideas and perspectives. We think that international products can only be made by a mix of individuals.

  • / 04

    Radical candor

    We give feedback that's both kind and clear, specific and sincere, no matter what position someone holds in the company. This helps to boost our team engagement and collaboration, and keeps us competitive. We believe that providing honest and constructive feedback is essential to helping everyone on our team grow and succeed.
