  • Ship It & Iterate – We value people who not only generate ideas but also do the work to bring them to life. Instead of fixating on outcomes, we focus on the inputs we can control and take our best bets. We move quickly to ship something, talk to users, get feedback, and iterate.

Being aggressively considerate means caring about one another as humans and speaking up with empathy so we can succeed together as a team.
