Our version of company values...
We value honesty. We would rather have someone's honest take on an issue than be told what they think we want to hear.
In any debate or decision, the most reasonable position should win. Reason outweighs any status in the company hierarchy.
Of course, what's reasonable to me might not be reasonable to you. We have a set of decision making frameworks we use for cases where there isn’t obvious consensus. Check them out here:
We want to make decisions based on data as much as possible, but we need to be smart about the conclusions we draw. It’s possible to justify bad decisions based on shoddy use of data or be overly committed to “data-driven decision making” as a dogmatic methodology. As with everything else at Warp, we want to be pragmatic.

Great design needs to be a core tenet of the company. We are fundamentally trying to build great user experiences and great design is at the heart of that.
We will follow the golden rule and treat each other as we'd like to be treated ourselves. It's fine to argue and disagree but it needs to be done respectfully and out of a desire to reach the best outcome.
The most important things in life to me are health, family and friends, and they come before work. I expect that the same holds true for everyone else who works here.
We want people who are truly committed to making the company successful, who see it as more than a job.
