Reap Technologies

Self awareness

• Be aware of and accept your own faults and shortcomings
• Start by seeking for opinions, experiences and help from others
• Asking for help is a form of strength rather than weakness

Seek learning

• be obsessed with learning, development and self improvement
• Get takeaways with every decision (product, engineering, sales, etc) you make and strive to improve regardless of the outcome
• Demonstrate learning by deliberately choosing to be the strongest listener in the room

Always be candid

• Communicate with openness and transparency
• Be extremely caring and extremely direct and understand that it is a privilege to receive feedback from the team
• When in doubt, choose to overcommunicate and risk being repetitive in order to ensure mutual understanding

Bias to action

• Getting an outcome (whether positive or negative) creates opportunities for learning and is almost always a better decision than searching for the optimal answer
• Instead of thinking about the optimal decision making process, we should set-up quick, action oriented experiments so that (incorrect) decisions can be changed if needed
• Fast speed of execution is Reap's biggest competitive advantage against larger companies with more resources
• That said, before we make a decision, we should still aim to ask why often by thinking through first principles, playing devil's advocate and staying curious in general.

Strive for quality and ownership

• If needed, we should feel comfortable in reducing the scope of work as a tradeoff for quality
• Almost every single aspect of Reap could be improved so we encourage folks to take initiative in going above and beyond to look for these improvements
