A bit about our culture...

Insanely Great: You are either producing something insanely great or total shit. Nothing in between. Be thrilled about your work. If you “like” it you don’t “love” it. Love it.

Relentless: Failure was never, is never, and never will be an option. Setback yes, fuck ups yes, learnings yes. Failure no. Prove it to yourself individually. And prove it to the world collectively.

Empathetic: We point fingers when we win & hold hands when we lose.

No Sugarcoating & No Bullshit: The most empathetic thing to do for your people is dissolve the sugarcoating. We are SEAL Team 6 - a high performance team - with everyone relying on everyone else to complete the objective. Be honest, upfront, direct, and concise in your feedback. Sugarcoating kills the company.

Confront: Confront issues immediately. Companies die when malaise sets in.
