Open and honest communication

Total funding: $25m

• Holiday allowance: 25 days plus public holidays
• No meeting Tuesdays: Focus is a must-have to do the best work of your career. We create space to ensure it can happen.
• 3 days in the office: We find a few days together makes a huge difference in how fast we move right now.
• Working from home hardware: We want you to be well set up to work effectively from home. You can select your ideal set up from our list of recommendations.
• Learning & development: We aren't about a standard budget and blanket training. We offer time, funds, and coaching - and team members define the what, how and when.
• Weekly team lunch: We prioritise time together to make sure we are building strong, trusting relationships to do our best work.

• The world can’t wait: Reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere is critical. The world can’t wait for the product we’re building. We have to move fast. Tackling such a momentous challenge isn’t easy. So our team exudes good energy. We’re persistent and resilient. We always ask ‘how can it be done?’ over ‘can it be done?’. For us, optimism is self-fulfilling.
• Rigor: We prize rigor. We have relentlessly high standards for ourselves. We work whole-heartedly and single-mindedly. Problem solving at Isometric follows the scientific method. Before jumping into any task, we first define the intended result. We gather and analyze available data, uncover bad assumptions, make hypotheses about how the outcome might be achieved—then run experiments to complete the loop. All our actions are grounded in first principles thinking and emotional control.
• Good words: The best communicators usually win. So we’re intentional about our writing. We work to keep it clear, engaging and thorough. We’re also disciplined about tooling, information architecture and documentation. All three are superpowers when executed well. We think that frank communication leads to better decision making. We trust each other to be direct and give a lot of context—and we expect a high level of integrity as a result.
