Recursive’s Culture
Ultimately, the value of a company is the result of the collective actions of its passionate members.
At Recursive we want to focus on creating an incredible working environment where talented individuals can come together to work hard on solving real-world problems.
When it comes to culture, we know that there is no way to suit everyone’s tastes. Almost everyone has a passion, but not all passions align. And the same is true for Recursive. We aim to build a work environment that is ideal for a particular kind of person:
・Challenger Mentality: Those who like to solve hard problems and try to go beyond their current abilities
・Leadership: those who take the initiative and fix problems on their own
・Trust & Cooperation: those who seek to work with a team of talented individuals they can trust
・Impact: those who want to feel like their work is having impact on others/the world
Recursive can only work when we take collaboration to be our top priority. Our workplace has zero tolerance for harassment or toxic behavior, deliberate bad performance, as well as any behaviors that undermine the culture we wish to create. We will only be able to achieve the goals of closing more impactful projects, and achieving “kandou” for the ones we are executing, if all teams come together and collaborate. We want to use our diversity of cultures and experiences as a strength instead of a weakness.
Given that we are still a small company, everyone’s actions matter, and we place top priority in ensuring that our culture (i.e. the actions of our members) reflects our values. That means that it is not enough to simply write down a document with what we believe our culture is, but in a nutshell, actively rewarding behaviors that are consistent with the culture and disincentivizing behaviors that go against the culture that we want to build.
