Our team is fully distributed, just like our cloud. Salad is a fully-remote workplace empowering employees to work from wherever makes sense for them with full autonomy.

Champion collaboration: We choose to explore emergent technologies and embrace changing attitudes, so that SaladCloud will always provide meaningful services to help realize compute applications. It is our responsibility to advocate for our users and bolster our peers. We consciously and autonomously undertake worthy initiatives, and we refuse to let good ideas die on the vine.

Step up, not on: We give shape to our partners' designs. There is merit to every ingredient, even if it doesn't make it into the recipe. We do not dismiss ideas without first trying to enhance them with new notions. If we must disagree, we do so only to amplify. We never talk down to or disparage the people we encounter. Drama is bitter greens, and we save no place for it in our kitchen.

All truth. No bullshit: Great relationships are built on trust. Honesty is vital to establishing new contacts, and maintaining the trust that defines an enduring partnership. In a world of natural skepticism, we take transparency and forthrightness as our lodestars. We tell the truth in
conversation with our users, partners, and peers even when it's difficult.

Disciplined, not policed: We recognize autonomy as the engine of ingenuity. That is why we never implement a rule without first asking how it may affect the game for others. Our team actively promotes a sense of rigorous self-discipline among our peers and community, yet encourages experimentation and flexibility. Some rules shouldn't be broken, but we've found that most are pretty bendy.

Salad's leadership makes a conscious, transparent effort to live the brand values every day and in every interaction. We promote the company culture by continuously reinforcing our brand values and encouraging our employees to be stewards of the culture. Furthermore, company culture starts at the top and we commit ourselves to our four brand values fully, no matter the situation. 

Every week, we encourage leadership teams to give kudos to top performers of the week during our company wide All-in meeting. We also share kudos to individual employees through our company wide Slack channel. Transparency is a pillar of our culture when recognizing and rewarding employee achievements.
