We are Molecule
At Molecule, we definitely Do Things a Certain Way. As our team has grown, we’ve thought at length about what that means.
Why bother? Well, we want our team members to be independent and share their awesomeness with us (why would we have hired them otherwise?), so we have more awesomeness to share with our customers. At the same time, we want to give our customers a consistent, fantastic experience every time they interact with our team or our product.
I believe that if everyone at Molecule has a shared framework for decision-making, then we can make similar choices independently. Given that, the results of a decision made by anyone on our team (regardless of implementation) should ultimately reflect what we as a company strive to do. That’s what matters.
Without further ado, and after much debate, refinement, and more debate, we’re proud to share our Values with you. They are also available here.
