• We care about our people and help make them successful.

• We believe that APIs are a user experience and aspire to making them user-friendly and consistent.

• We work hard and strive to keep focused, but we leave room to have fun as a group and live full lives as individuals outside of the company.

• We believe in giving our technology leaders the authority they need to lead and the accountability that comes with leadership.
