We focus on simplicity
We make products easy to use and remove complexity in how we work.
We are customer driven
We engage with our customers in achieving value-driven outcomes.

We value and continuously strive to be equitable, diverse, and inclusive
We know that there’s power in our diversity and remain committed to creating a safe space for our people to take pride in themselves, find purpose in their work, and amplify their voices.
We take a holistic approach to achieve an equitable and inclusive workplace with zero tolerance for discrimination in our practices and policies.
We practice—and strongly encourage—the use of inclusive language by identifying and replacing words that have negative connotation regarding race, gender, sexual orientation, generation, or ability.
We pride ourselves on diverse representation of employees and leaders across our company from entry level positions all the way to the senior leadership team and Board of Directors.
We honour and celebrate international days that are meaningful to our people and communities, such as Black History Month, International Women’s Day, Pride Month, Diwali, and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
We believe in the power of community impact
Dedicating time to create safe and equitable communities requires everyone’s support. That is why we empower our people to make a positive impact in their communities.
Recently, we’ve supported humanitarian efforts in our global communities including Syria, Türkiye, and Ukraine through donations including matching employee donations.
We aim to invest in the tech talent of the future with our two scholarship programs.

And we provide employees with paid time off to volunteer to contribute towards charitable causes or organizations they’re passionate about as well as to support civic duties such as jury or court duties.
