In their own words
About the company & team
Our Culture "This is how we do things here"
Our aim is to help the world become a better place, therefore we need to make sure we care about our people and give them the power to build great things. These are some of the principles that define our culture:
We Trust:
- Our team structure relies on self-organization.
- We want to work with colleagues who don't have to look 'up' for approval, nor look 'down' and give instructions.
- As soon as you step inside, we will provide you with the best tools and technology, and then we will trust you to do great things.
We Delight:
- We use our deep understanding of people's needs to spark delight.
- Our choices are based on science, research, and design principles.
We Care:
- For ourselves, our colleagues, and the organization.
- We know what we do is important and we have a strong sense of responsibility for the work we do.
We Grow:
- As we are always embarking on new projects and challenges, a continuous learning mindset and a "Can Do" attitude is a must
- We are conscientious, we focus on learning and achieving our goals
- We give power to people so they can make decisions, and plot their own paths with help from all around them
We have Fun:
- We also know that you need to balance seriousness with fun.
- If you can make people smile you will be off to a great start!
We are a Self-Managed Organization and these are 3 capabilities that make people successful in an organization like ours:
- Agency & Initiative: "I have within me the will to initiate action and follow through my plan with my own efforts." (Instead of "I rely almost exclusively on the authority of others to direct me / my actions".)
- Accountability: "I am accountable for the outcomes of my actions, and what happens to me". (Instead of "I see my actions determined by others").
- Scope of Considering (System Thinking): "I consider the effects of my actions on other peers, teams and Vizzuality". (Instead of "When making decisions about my work/growth, I just think of myself").
