• 💡 Trust and autonomy — Our team members have solid judgement, and seek to earn a high degree of trust from everyone they work with by showing them their best judgement. Once a team member has earned trust, they can operate with a sense of autonomy and can do their best work without too much supervision. Our leaders seek to instill a sense of autonomy in their team members.

• 💻 Product first — Everyone at Circle cares deeply about our product, and strives to do their best to make it better regardless of their role. We're open to sharing or receiving constructive feedback about our product at all times.
• 💭 Long-term thinking — We're here for Circle’s future and value its long-term mission. We pause and reflect on the fundamentals. We constantly seek to make trade-offs which benefit Circle’s mission over the course of the next decade — not just the immediate month or quarter ahead.
