CDD Workplace Values
- Fun
We do not take ourselves too seriously. We celebrate our successes together, big and small (5pm board - woohoo!). - Motivational
We are empowered to develop our skills and talents, and are eager to apply them to do more and improve what we’ve started. - Inspiring
We feel inspired to ideate, iterate, communicate and grow. - Nurturing
We cultivate talent, purpose and growth. We support each other in this process. - Challenging
We push ourselves and others to become better and achieve more. We, as an individual and team, are part of a continuum, striving to innovate ourselves, products and processes. - Empowering
We maintain open communication and let the information flow, as appropriate, so that others can help us or support us. We do not point fingers but instead feed forward. We embrace mistakes as part of learning, to become better persons and a better organization. - Meritocratic
We base our decisions on evidence. It is not important who got the idea, only that it is the best. We take the best ideas and iterate on them to make them even better. We strive to display optimal judgment on decision making, while being especially open-minded to new experiments (mutations that help us evolve). - Agile
We are able to change directions quickly to adapt to the market and its needs. We communicate tirelessly so everyone is in synergy. We let ideas develop within our resource constraints. - Respectful
We respect and embrace each other's differences. Our diversity is our strength. - Frugal
We spend wisely and observe budgets. We provide the resources to get the job done. - Rewarding
We recognize emotional, personal, and professional success as an important reward. Financial success is not our only metric, but is proportional to our achievements.
