Our Work Code  

Take ownership- All of us are on this ship together. When you see a problem to fix or an area to improve, do it! We are here to build the ship, not just paint it.  

Move quickly and make mistakes- We're not afraid to take risks. Be bold, be Creative & be experimental and try things; it's better to validate an idea quickly than to fall behind chasing perfection.  

Have a point of view and embrace the debate- We value diversity of opinion and don't stand on hierarchy. Speak up, and you'll be heard.  

Be helpful and empathetic- We believe that empathy is the foundation of building a great Culture, great team, product, and service. We look at things from our users' perspectives, and we always treat our users and each other with trust and mutual respect.
