Our Vision and Values

Our Vision

Help design better built environment, faster

Our Values

• Care (give a shit): Empathize with customers. Take the time to understand their frustrations, needs, and desires.

• Initiative (Be resourceful). Don't wait for permission. Figure it out-or figure out who can.

• Craft (Master it). Own your craft. Never stop learning and improving,

• Team (Work together). Teamwork makes the dream work. Fill gaps. There's no such thing as "it's not my job"

• Truth (Say it). Be up front and radically candid. Say it like it is while showing empathy for others. Hold yourself and others accountable.

• Fun (Have it), Don't take yourself too seriously--life is short.

Culture @ Snaptrude

• We are a remote-first company; our team primarily works from across India and the US, but we have employees across 6 countries and 9 timezones

• Once in a year we organize an in-person retreat/socials. We try to rotate the location (in India) to keep it exciting and engaging. Here's a video from a recent meetup!

• At Snaptrude, we value our employees and offer a competitive compensation package that includes health insurance, matching 401K retirement plans, professional development opportunities, and a fast-paced startup environment with an exciting and collaborative company culture

• Mediocrity just doesn't cut it, but we recognize and reward commitment and ownership

• We resort to async conversations/standups wherever possible. We try to (remotely) co-work on Gather whenever possible too

• The team comes together during the first Thursday of the month for a remote socials; its super fun!

There's much more that's in the pipeline; feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions at all :)
