Our organization values collaboration and continuous improvement, and we strive to provide an environment where all ideas are valued. We believe that healthy organizations have a culture of accountability, transparency, and safety. This means that we commit to delivering things together, communicate constantly on status and risks, and that when we fail (and we should strive to fail) that we own up to it and use it as a learning experience with no blame or judgement involved.
