Our mission
Kick butt, have fun, don’t cheat, love our customers and change computing forever.
Kick Butt
We believe in working hard to deliver a kick-butt product, experience and company. We are by nature a competitive company, but we compete by offering a better alternative, not by denigrating or otherwise undercutting the competition.
Have Fun
We believe that work is most fulfilling when it is fun – and that a good sense of humor is essential for humility in the good times and endurance in the lean ones.
Don’t Cheat
We believe in playing by the rules of the game, abiding by both their letter and their spirit. If we don’t like the rules, we work openly and collaboratively to improve them.
Love Our Customers
We recognize that our customers take a risk on us, and we love them for it. We work to deliver products that they will love in turn – and if and when our products fall short, our love for our customers trumps our own ego.
Change Computing Forever
Computing is our shared passion; our calling is to advance the state of the art, bringing those advances to the broadest possible audience.
