Culture and benefits at Alloy

Culture at Alloy means helping one another live our values every day. We are intentional about building and maintaining a culture that allows everyone at Alloy to do their best work. *Focus on what matters* - Reevaluate priorities as necessary to pick the work that will have the highest impact to the customer and business. - Work hard in a way that is sustainable. Choose the schedule that lets you achieve your best. Measure results, not hours. - Respect your time and that of others; come prepared and leave with commitments. *Take ownership* - Take initiative by proactively identifying opportunities or issues and tackling them. - Strive for excellence. Hold yourself and your colleagues to a high standard. Create something that makes you proud. - Follow through on our commitments to customers, users, and each other. We are all doers, regardless of role — no task is beneath you. *Iterate to excellence* - Prefer action over perfection to learn quickly from early feedback. - Be flexible and accept the need to make tradeoffs and change directions. Everything is a work in progress, nothing is done. - Question prevailing assumptions, but understand them first. Gather evidence and champion ideas that will make our products and our company better. Verify and validate. *Communicate openly and respectfully* - Offer and expect transparency to build trust. - Confirm mutual understanding, especially in the face of disagreement. - Treat each other with respect. Criticize constructively — the work, not the person. *Have each other's backs* - When interacting with each other, always assume good intentions. Trust each other and take risks together. - Give praise generously and take joy in others’ accomplishments. - Grow a diverse team by actively seeking different backgrounds and cultivating an inclusive culture. Focus on how others’ strengths complement us, rather than how their weaknesses invalidate them.
