Ripl’s Commitment to Our Team’s Growth and Development
We are proud of our culture. Our cultural foundations are empathy and respect. We hire people, not roles. We value emotion, not just rationality. We value diversity over superficial conformity; we refuse to bucket, stereotype, or discriminate. We choose passionate freedom over poorly spent authority. We choose alignment over fear-driven command-and-control systems. We seek alignment in all we do: with our customers, the business, our teammates, and our individual selves. We endeavor to design our culture—we nurture it so that it nurtures us. Our goal is an ecology of ideas, where the best idea is always adopted, regardless of its source. To this we commit, as a team, with the fullest possible sincerity and intention.
Come and join us as we build a company that innovates; a company that treasures team, collaboration, and individuals; and a company that provides freedom and camaraderie for people who are effective and passionate.
