Operating Principles
Our decisions are led by a set of Operating Principles (OP)
Bias to action
We move fast and take initiative rather than waiting to be asked.
Own the outcome
We take responsibility for the result, not just the task.
Conviction, held loosely
We fight for what we believe, then listen hard enough to change our minds.
Endless curiosity
We ask "why" behind everything we build.
