What they value

• Customer obsessed: work backwards from the ideal customer experience.
• Bias toward action: act by default, and solve the problem faster.
• Truth seek: look for evidence against your own hypothesis.
• 1% better every day: small improvements add up over time.
• One team, one fight: the company comes before your team, and your team before yourself.
• Debate and commit: the best idea wins, then everyone supports the decision.

What they look for

Sales Postings ask for a record of new business, negotiation skills, and the ability to work alone on the road. Field roles in the UK ask for a UK driving licence and access to a vehicle. Many commercial roles serve one market and ask for its language: French, Italian, Dutch, or Mandarin. Most Postings for France are in French. Four Postings in the UAE and Kuwait are for nationals of those countries.

Backend engineering Postings name Go, Ruby on Rails, Python, Scala, and Rust. They ask for experience with relational and NoSQL databases, and with web systems at scale. Senior engineers mentor others and take part in interviews. One engineering Posting asks you to use AI tools each day and to judge their output.

Product and design Postings ask for work on ambiguous problems from idea to launch, and for decisions that rest on data and experiments. Data science Postings ask for Python or R, and SQL. The Finance Manager Posting asks for an ACA or ACCA accounting qualification.

Many Postings say that the interview has 3 or 4 stages.
