Our Culture
All-Star Team
Learn-by-Doing
Freedom & Responsibility
Low Process, High Ethics
An all-star team is one in which all of your colleagues are extraordinary at what they do and are highly effective collaborators. The value and satisfaction of being on an all star team is incredible — you learn the most, perform your best work, improve the fastest and have the most fun. We foster collaboration, embrace a diversity of viewpoints, support information transparency and discourage politics.
Modo is a learn-by-doing environment. We learn fastest by building experience and trying things out, regardless of whether they sink, swim or fly. We seek learning opportunities and thrive outside our comfort zone. Whether it's building new products, experimenting with new data or testing ideas with customers, we just get started and figure it out as we go along. By doing this, we will disrupt our own business models before our competitors do.
Our goal is to inspire people more than manage them. We trust our team to do what they think is best for Modo — giving them lots of freedom, power and information in support of their decisions. We believe people thrive on being trusted, on freedom, and being able to make a difference.
At its heart, Modo is a creative technology business, not a safety-critical business. Our big threat over time is lack of innovation and nothing kills innovation like process. At Modo, there are no spending controls and few signing controls. Our policy for travel, entertainment and gifts is simple: “act in Modo’s best interest”. Our holiday policy is ‘take holiday’. Our parental leave policy is ‘take care of your baby and yourself’. Important exceptions to our pro-freedom philosophy are ethical issues and safety issues (such as managing customer data), which have strict controls, but these are edge cases.
