We care about what we do. When you see that something needs to be done you step in and do action without looking if somebody should initiate the change. It is about taking the initiative to bring positive results. You, as an individual, are accountable for the quality and timeliness of an outcome, even when you’re working with others. One should be responsible for the task, team, project, and company. Taking ownership shows others that they can trust you to do the right thing. We have an intolerance for a half effort, for cutting corners, and for average results. In fact, we hate mediocrity.
Engineering is about finding optimal solutions for real problems. It’s about looking at the simplest way to solve changing problems. We don’t blindly follow the schemes. If something works we do it, when it doesn’t we don’t. Pragmatism is about measuring and acting fast based on those data. We validate ideas and we aren’t afraid to say something didn’t work. We don’t look for ideal things, just because those don't exist - but we strive to find the best solution from a time and quality perspective. We experiment a lot learning everyday. Anyone at AppUnite can and should email or talk to anyone else according to what they think is the fastest way to solve a problem for the benefit of the whole company.
We believe that the people we work with have good intentions. But you need to prove that you are a person of trust. Be open to discussion, share your argumentation when you take action, and be a person that admits to being wrong when you are wrong. When one makes a decision, we believe one tried to make the best decision at that moment. We believe in constructive feedback and that there is always the right time to share one. Trust allows us to build long-lasting relationships with our employees and partners.
Curiosity means never stop learning. We should be excited to learn and try new things. When a team is curious, they are proactive and not reactive. We are expected to try new things. Even if it leads to making a bad call. After all, a bad decision is better than no decision. We aren’t afraid of being wrong. We are curious if we are right. We use our curiosity to build a deep understanding of how things really work. And we believe that it can make a huge difference.
Helping others is a priority, even when it is not immediately related to the goals that you are trying to achieve. We are collaborative on the problems we face. We work together for the common good and we are supporting each other. We rely on other team members and we aren’t afraid of asking for help. We care about inclusion. We respect others. Their opinions and beliefs. No matter what background, religion, gender or race the person we work with is.
We ****constantly listen to customers (internal and external), and then continuously testing, enhancing, and personalizing the customer experience. Seeing the bigger picture and caring about the final product, even if you need to make a trade-off, always having long-term satisfaction. It's also about employee focus and thinking about what we can do for AppUniters.
