- We hire and promote against our core values. Even at the entry level, you should be able to talk about how you have lived each of them—from school, internships, prior jobs, sports, volunteer work, anywhere:
- We Care About The Customer. A time you made someone else look like the hero—where they walked away looking smart because of how you showed up.
- We Play To Win. A time you held yourself accountable for great work and put your best foot forward, even when nobody was watching.
- We Are Passionate. A time you worked hard, got stuff done, and still made it fun for the people around you.
- We Are Exceptionally Open. A time you flagged a problem early, asked the awkward question, or surfaced something uncomfortable instead of letting it sit.
- We Are Welcoming. A time you helped someone with a different background or perspective feel included and able to do their best work.
Who You Are

- A clear communicator. You write well, you listen, and you can explain things well.
- Organized. You can juggle a portfolio of accounts and prioritize without dropping balls.
