Culture and benefits at Polygon

Polygon’s mission is to enable every person with a learning difference to reach their full potential. Our business and technology teams are core to this mission, building and operating products that help us change lives. 1. Play to your strengths | If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it’s stupid. Be aware of your weaknesses and be excellent at what you do. 2. Intellectual honesty | We privilege Socratic reasoning over euphemisms and maintaining the status quo. We focus on the reasons behind ideas, not the person making them. 3. Effectiveness over efficiency | Focus on achieving the right goal; don’t get caught up in hitting the wrong goal in the most efficient possible way. 4. Feedback is a gift | Feedback should be given and received continuously. It’s just as important to highlight what people do well as what they could do better. Feedback without examples is not feedback. 5. Transparency | Giving the full context and sharing as much information as possible empowers people to make better decisions. 6. Personal autonomy | We manage through goals, not tasks. We aim to give every employee as much autonomy as possible to work in whichever way suits them best. 7. Unwavering optimism | We all hold the unreasonable belief that we can accomplish our mission. We focus on solutions rather than problems. We enjoy the ride! 8. Focus on the mission | We serve people with learning differences over all other stakeholders.
