We envision a world with highly autonomous machines connected and coordinated in a streamlined way automating a significant portion of the dirty, dull, and dangerous work.
Based on our core value of empathy we strongly believe that the dirty, dull, and dangerous work should be automated and people should be given an option to take up more intellectually challenging and creative work. We want to enable this automation with machines that are connected and coordinated in a streamlined manner.
Core Values are a handful guiding principles we use when making all decisions including the ones on people, processes, and products.
We walk the extra mile to better understand the material, emotional, and intellectual needs and pain of our customers, colleagues, and communities.
We make sure all our data, decisions, and work are transparent. We actively seek out to include diverse points of view and collaborate to produce better results.
We break things down to its fundamental truths and reason up from there to build optimal and authentic solutions.
With a holistic understanding and attention to detail, we reduce and organize to keep things accessible and nimble.
We are committed to our core purpose of empowering lives with connected machines. We keep learning to get better at what we do and give each other the autonomy to operate.
We take big and calculated risks without agonizing and create an environment that is safe to fail. We speak up when things are inconsistent with our core values.
