Our Operating Model & Culture

• In Product-Engineering, we hire people we trust, and then trust them to make their own choices on how they want to work, and how they want to reach a goal. This sounds simple but it requires a lot of investment in the right company culture. Our team is made up of autonomous squads who decide what they work on, how they work and within them have all the skills they need to complete their mission. That means we have no centralised teams (Ops, QA etc).
• We think that we are doing a good thing for hotels and guests and believe in our mission! We are working on a highly scaled platform that hotels use to build direct relationships with their customers and cut out middlemen. In terms of scale, our software operates on over 10k hotels and collects ~30M guest events a day, and growing. That's a big opportunity to positively impact a lot of people.
• We engage with our customers to validate assumptions and test new features. We like to go crazy deep on the problem. 'Start with the problem' is one of our three core principles, and beyond tools like FullStory, Intercom and Analytics that help us learn about users, each squad has friends in CS and Sales and even hoteliers themselves to help build that knowledge. Hotel visits and travel research budgets are also a big plus.
• We care deeply about diversity and inclusion. We have a dedicated D&I squad who meet regularly to work on and propose actions to improve D&I within the team and wider biz. Outside of hiring activities, we work hard to foster an environment of psychological safety. We truly value collaboration and are invested in maintaining a team that encourages everyone to contribute.
• We optimise for learning. We regularly provide each other with feedback and reflect on the ways we work. We use Notion to bring efficient transparency and create a home for everything we do. We have initiatives like 'Discovery Days', 'Field Trips' and 'Product Management Dojos' to bring new people together and create more learning and development opportunities.
• We celebrate our progress. At the end of each week, we join the rest of the company to showcase what we’ve accomplished and share our pride in the work we have done with our colleagues.
