Our Values

We believe in creating a safe, welcoming, and healthy work environment for all. We are all-Inclusive. That means being approachable, welcoming, respectful, and empathetic to everyone at all times. We strive to go all-in for our teammates, partners, products, and community.

We believe in having integrity with our effort and conduct. This means every Eight Bitter takes ownership of their actions or inactions. We aim to exceed expectations. We share our views and are respectful to others. We don’t always have the answers or agree, but we move forward earnestly — learning, evolving and challenging until we get it right.

We believe everyone is capable of leadership. We encourage our employees to be resourceful, have an opinion, listen with intention, own their decisions, take chances, learn from missteps, and empower others. We put more emphasis on people than numbers, striving to understand data, while making human decisions. This is the human side of leadership.

We believe in taking our work and fun seriously. Play strengthens bonds between team members while increasing engagement, collaboration, and innovation. Work is both fun and fulfilling when everyone plays their part in achieving our goals together.
