Work & culture
The company describes its culture through four values: Future shapers, Restless achievers, Self-movers, and Team players. Engineering sources emphasize ownership, curiosity, open communication, collaboration, learning, one-to-ones, and customer impact. The 2024 impact report describes a hybrid model, while careers materials also advertise work-from-anywhere flexibility; practical arrangements therefore vary by role and location.
