Qualifications

COMPETENCIES:

Cultural

Fulfillment at work most often occurs when personal values align with those of the organization. Protomet associates its collective character with the following traits:

• Second Mile
  • The first mile is mandatory. The second mile is voluntary; we do it for our own growth.
• Don't Touch the Marshmallow
  • This references the famous psychological experiment studying the strength to reject short term gratification in favor of a larger reward later. We err towards celebrating later, not sooner.
• Life is not a zero-sum game. We strive to reject scarcity mindsets and instead "grow the pie". Example - is a new "A" player on your team an asset or a threat?
• What you can do is all that matters. Credentials alone won't get you anywhere at Protomet.
• That's Hard...Good
  • Growth happens the most in the face of challenges. We recognize it is difficult to grin as you are being tested, but it's possible, and we're getting better at it.
