Introduction

What is this culture document?

Our culture document details out who we are, how we operate, and the underlying purpose of why Otto exists as a company.

It details out how we set to achieve our mission and vision through our values, principles, standards, and norms, which also anchor how each team member agrees to relate with one another and our stakeholders.

We believe a workplace can be a more delightful, natural, and human experience - this document is how we align on how we do this and why 🚀.

What is our guiding philosophy?

We believe that building structures, systems, and approaches that are aligned with our principles, values, standards, and norms will create sustained value for all of our stakeholders!

This is how we aim at achieving our purpose, mission, and vision…

Team Standards and Norms V1.1

These are the shared habits, and agreements that serve as a framework for holding ourselves, and each other, accountable. (Updated January 19, 2025)

• 1. TEAM & CULTURE STANDARDS
• 2. JOB & RESPONSIBILITY STANDARDS
• 3. OKR + KPI STANDARDS
• Performance Score Meaning + Calculation </aside>

The question here is not “how do we get the most out of our people?” but rather - “how do we help our people be the best version of themselves”

<aside> Note: We will revisit team standards as team members as people leave comments explicitly identifying areas for improvement.
