Company values
- Research for ambitious goals: We’re not afraid of setting bold, audacious goals and are maniacally focused on achieving them. We strive to push the boundaries of what's possible and come up with creative solutions that make a real impact. We believe that breakthrough innovation is key to us successfully shaping a better tomorrow for all
- Think deeply and use sound reasoning: We start with first principles and work hard to deeply understand how things work. We’re direct with colleagues and have vigorous intellectual debates. Good ideas can come from anyone, regardless of their job title, and we make decisions on the merits of the argument and never based on politics
- Step up and take ownership: We take ownership, not just of our projects, but for the overall success of the company – identifying what’s holding us back and proactively making improvements. We put the team’s success above our own self interest and share knowledge openly. We are a little bit insecure and paranoid and do whatever it takes to ensure success

- Obsess about customers: We listen to our customers to understand their businesses intimately so we can solve their biggest problems. In everything we do that touches customers, we exceed their expectations for quality and reliability. When something urgent happens, we drop everything to help them
- Enjoy the journey: Building a great company isn’t enough, we also want to have fun along the way. We’re serious when it matters but also enjoy working together and joking around. We demonstrate we care about others and recognize them for their contributions and accomplishments
