Our Way Of Life

https://www.notion.so/bitespeed/Way-Of-Life-At-BiteSpeed-44d9b9614d9641419da910189b1e9f8e.

Our Purpose

At BiteSpeed, work is personal. You could blame this on us being existential, but most of us are spending the best years of our lives doing this and we want to be purposeful about the kind of workplace we’re trying to create.

Our purpose is about why we’re here and what we care about

• Personal Transformation
• Wealth Creation
• Winning Together

Our Values

Our values are about how we do what we do. Values define the right thing to do. We hire, reward and sometimes have to let go based on our values.

We have 5 core values

• Go Above And Beyond
• Making Things Happen
• Say It Like It Is
• Progress Over Perfection
• Don’t Take Yourself Seriously, Take Your Work Seriously

Small things we’ve done to ensure we take care of our wellness, learning & keep things fun:

• Health Insurance - Health insurance cover and accident coverage for extra cushion and mental peace when rainy days hit us.
• Quarterly Off-sites - Quarterly off-sites are a core part of the BiteSpeed culture. Our off-sites range from intense quarter planning sessions to crazy mafia nights and competitive cricket matches (with a lot of trash talking).
• Cult Fitness Membership - All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Cult Fit and Cult Play passes to make sure we hit the gym more often.
• Personal Development - We sponsor courses, conference tickets, books on a case to case basis to ensure we’re constantly growing.
• Salary In Advance - Trust first, by default. We pay out salaries in the first week of the month.
