building new capabilities for the business. Each day we get together, talk
about what we’ve just done, what we’re about to do then work together
during the day. We believe strongly in pairing, testing, continuous
delivery. Each week we participate in guilds across the company to keep our
skills sharp and increase our impact, and in team retrospectives where we
keep track of how our team is going. Your manager acts as a mentor to help
guide you and your career, instead of being someone who monitors your day
to day.
