Our Culture (inspired by Reed Hastings, No Rules Rule)
We Live By Simple Principles
#GiveFirst - give to those within and around the company with no strings attached.
Radical Transparency - say what you really think, with positive intent. Provide enough information for people to take ownership.
Removing Controls - limit decision-making approvals needed to foster an “individual decision-making with input” process. Lead with context, not control.
Give More Than You Take
