What we stand for
Before anything else, values come first. Without clear, shared values, we wander independently and contradict one another. Everything's harder when we all believe different things about what's important to us, our company.
Here is a list of 6 key values we take to heart.
Results, not hours.
How much time you spend in front of your computer does not mean anything about your value for the company. We care about results so the what really counts is having an impact on the company and your team members. So be efficient, focus on the important stuff, do what you said you’d do and help others achieve.
Be the best version of yourself
Push yourself to be the best version of yourself. Read, think, learn and improve. Rince and repeat. Every blog post we write, every feature we launch and every training we organise has to be an example of pure ‘craftmanship’. We never stop learning because we know there are always things to do better.
One (small) step at the time
If we want to make a big impact we need to start small. Making mistakes is part of making progress, but we learn the lesson from all of them. Working on a ground-breaking idea? Don’t lock yourself up and work on it for 2 weeks to prepare and get it perfect, start with the most simple MVP and go from there.
We keep things simple, by working hard to get complexity out.
Customer love.
We want to solve for the customer in the long term. Their success is crucial for our survival. We're always trying our hard to make clients happy, so we go the extra mile and exceed their expectations, every-single-day.
Autonomy
You can expect from the leadership to have a clear idea of where Prezly is going, but it's up to you to figure out how to get there. So take ownership, figure-shit-out, ship, evaluate, iterate and improve.
Be resourceful, being blocked by another person is never a valid excuse, there's always another way. Be respectful of each others' time, interrupting people is taking them away from their own results.
Collaborate
When things go well, we share the credit. When things go poorly, we shoulder responsibility.
Collaborating while working remotely is challenging, we try to over-compensate this by rigorously taking notes, setting up video calls, updating trello cards, making calls, actively sharing knowledge. Power is gained by sharing knowledge, not by hoarding it.
Also, be nice.
