The Koodoo Way

Tech Team Culture and Values

Ownership

• This is OUR software
• We’re proud of it
• We want to make it better through collaboration with Koodoods who care about it as well

Curosity

• I am not always right
• Every day is a school day
• I wonder if I just change this variable here...oh god!

Mindfulness

• We make time for the things that other developers don’t. Things like security, a11y.

Innovation

• Innovation is not a buzzword!
• It’s core to our business and technical strategy
• You don't get innovative products if you don't invest in innovation

Objectiveness

• Your ideas are tools not babies
• If there is a better tool you shouldn’t be afraid to throw away your current tool in order to get a better one.
• 👶 + YEET == 😭
• 🔨 + YEET == 🤷‍♂️

Graft

• Graft, muck in, pull your weight, whatever you call it we help each other to meet objectives
• We graft when we have to
• We plan so that we don’t frequently have to graft in an extreme fashion

Respect

• We listen to each other
• We build each other up
• We are proud of our differences and celebrate our similarities

Trust

• I’m a Koodood, you’re a Koodood. Koodoods are gosh darned awesome!
• We trust each other to hold these values in high regard

Professionalism done right

• Being professional doesn’t have to be boring
• We're memetastic
• Communicating the message is more important than conforming to old school expectations for delivery
