What do we value (the Kraftshala Kode):
- Like all good companies, we value integrity, excellence, respect, inclusion, and collaboration. Our team's distinctiveness comes from the following:
- We seek a user centric mindset. People who start with the user and work backward, and take every opportunity to add value to their customers/ partners fit right in.
- We value problem solving skills. We look at problems objectively, solve for root causes, make decisions for long term good instead of short term gain, and don- t let processes get in the way of value addition.
- We look for learning agility. We are a team of learners who like to read, talk to experts, and seek feedback to be better today than we were yesterday.
- We respect ambition & courage to take on large goals. Self starters strengthen the backbone of our team.
- We expect consistency and reliability. Predictability just makes everyone's life a lot smoother.
- We like people who are real, open and direct in communication, while still being empathetic.
- We are practical optimists. Our team strongly believes in a better future & we enjoy playing our part to make that future a reality.
