Everyone trusts that you're doing your job, and getting your work done, regardless of what schedule you choose. You'll never get a sideways glance for coming in later, or needing to leave earlier. We all trust each other, and want to do whatever we can to help each other.
Openness and transparency-- I feel like I can be my authentic self and I can share my ideas and suggestions without judgment.
The culture fostered here at Bento encourages us to speak our mind without fear of repercussion. We all sit in an open seating arrangement, which fosters collaboration. Our management team sit with us, further embedding them into the company's heartbeat.
Everyone really looks after each other, and tries to include everyone when doing activities after hours. We are allowed unlimited PTO and no one ever complains or asks why I am sick or why I need a day off, it's just given.
Need to be better about celebrating our successes, start hiring earlier on (and less out of desperation) with a more structured evaluation of skills/experience/personality traits.
