Octave's Company Values:
The below values drive our day-to-day operations.
We're human beings first. We operate with empathy and kindness - with our clients, with our collaborators, and with ourselves.
People deserve better than status quo. We're willing to tackle the intractable problems, no matter how big, because someone should. We ask big questions, we craft big solutions, and we challenge ourselves and others to make it happen.
No bystanders. No stars. No tourists. Each person has been selected to be here, and with that comes a responsibility to bring your expertise, share your ideas, and help make this company better.
Partnership paves the path ahead. We don't operate in a silo, internally or externally. To transform the system, we believe in working with others to create something bigger, better, and stronger.
Quality is crucial at scale. Quality is core to our business, and we refuse to sacrifice it as we grow.
Progress is a process. In the pursuit of progress, we iterate, reflect, learn, adjust - and always leave things better than we found them.
There are people behind every data point. We recognize that numbers tell only one part of the story, and we also do the work to understand impacts at the individual level.
