Our Culture

Human Values

  • Always Respectful: Zero tolerance for harm or lack of respect for others.
  • Brutal Honesty, Delivered Kindly: We are realistic and kind.
  • Communication is Key: We create an environment for open and respectful discourse. Poor communication kills early stage startups.
  • Confidence, not Ego: We aim to create a meritocracy. Those who succeed at Quadratic do so because of their talent, not their pedigree, seniority, or self image. Ego has no place here, but confidence does.
  • Fun: We don’t take ourselves too seriously. Let’s build a category defining product, and have fun doing it.

Design and Engineering Values

  • Quadratic makes our users feel smarter. When using Quadratic our users should feel like they can tackle bigger problems and work smarter. After using Quadratic other spreadsheets will feel out of date.
  • Perfectionists with Deadlines. Details matter, so does progress. We strongly value decisiveness and taking action.
  • The tool should disappear. Users work in Quadratic for hours a day, we do everything in our power to focus the user on their work and their data. Not on our tool.
  • Write code for humans. Great code is easy to read and understand. In places where you need to optimize code for the machine, write excellent documentation for what’s going on and why.
  • Consistency as a deliverable. Every frame, every pixel matters. Quadratic always runs at 60 FPS, and the UI does not freeze with big operations. We would rather not have a feature than have a buggy feature.

Perks

  • Generous Equity: We strongly align incentives for all of our employees with the success of Quadratic. We provide top of the industry equity compensation to make sure that you have meaningful ownership in what you are building.
