Culture & Values

  • Put the customer at the center

    You don’t become a deeply trusted, indispensable partner without listening to customers, walking in their shoes, and propelling your orbit with a strong point of view.

  • Care for each other and our communities

    Caring for each other and our communities takes large doses of humility and kindness—mixed with building deep, authentic connections and topped with an unwavering commitment to collaboration.

  • Build belonging every day

    By embedding diversity and inclusion into every decision that we make, we open the door to other voices, different perspectives, and most important, our true potential for innovation.

  • Embrace a growth mindset

    We step out of our comfort zone even when it's scary and learn from both our failures and our successes. This keeps us from stepping into the dreaded fixed-mindset quicksand.

  • Think and act like owners

    Showing up with our A game, being accountable, and acting with speed and integrity are the keys to unlocking the sense of ownership that's necessary to create the future.
