Ownership

Proactive people with a ownership-mindset have the drive, energy and focus to achieve world-changing outcomes. People at Hume take ownership, are accountable, make decisions, focus with flow time, are pragmatic, make mistakes and learn from them. Just do it. Don't ask for permission.

JOY

While we’re very serious about our work, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Have fun and enjoy the ride!

Joy in our days is very important to us.

Good people win, and we win as a TEAM

We think good people win by having integrity, less ego, and playing well in teams. We assume good intent.

Humeans optimize for the team win, and we strive to hire people who prioritize team wins above their own. We’re here to win as a team.

Customer Obsession

We obsess over our customers, and we're committed to delivering exceptional experiences that exceed their expectations. We put our customers first in everything we do, and we're always looking for ways to improve our products, services, and processes to better serve their needs. We value feedback, and we actively seek out ways to engage with and learn from our customers.

Tell it like it is

As bitter as they may be, we prefer to know the facts. Sugar-coating does not help make decisions or solve problem quickly. We encourage every Humean to be direct, speak their mind, and expect the same from their peers.

Meritocrazy - best ideas win

At Hume, we're all about meritocracy - the best ideas always win. But it's not just about having great ideas - it's about execution too. We believe that success should be based on skills, abilities, contributions to the team, and the ability to execute on those ideas. We value diversity, inclusivity, and a culture of collaboration and innovation. We empower our team to take ownership of their work and be creative in their approach, while also delivering results. At the end of the day, it's all about recognizing and rewarding the best ideas and the best execution.

We want more

We are never completely satisfied with our accomplishments. When we achieve new records, we celebrate, and then imagine new ones. Across the product and company we’re building, this applies to everything we do. Every individual and team at Hume strive to be the best at their craft.

Writing > Talking (Async)

We believe that a culture of writing promotes systematic thought and reasoned arguments; while simultaneously fostering operational efficiency (avoiding meetings for meetings sake, not waiting to meet before making decisions) and a results-oriented mindset. It removes the influence of the loudest voices in the room, and creates a culture where teammates are eager to and can easily share and collaborate.
