This manifesto intends to highlight the key elements of Teros as a company and as a group of people. This determines who we are as well as what we value and what we do not.
Our Beliefs
We believe in a world where people are proud of their work, the output of this work is what enables our partners to succeed. We take pride in our work and believe the best path to quality is to equip our teams with ownership and trust. This is a defining characteristic of who we are and when individuals operate with autonomy, rooted in ownership and trust, we find that the outcome is always a highly innovative solution with little waste that we can feel good about shipping day after day.
Our Playbook
There are many playbooks to build a team. Our way is to cultivate a cohesive team that is committed to and aligned to a singular goal [Innovation]. Do not mistake Teros for a family, there’s no other family than the one we’re born into. Teros is a group of individuals that share the same core values, are passionate about building technology and thrive when solving hard problems.
Our Humanity
Humans are unique, complex, and unlike any other life-form. They are not Legos that can be stacked one on top of another, but more akin to puzzles with their own unique shapes, characteristics and edges. Humans are not interchangeable parts but unique contributors, each with distinct characteristics, skills, and perspectives. At Teros, we recognize and celebrate individuality, understanding that our collective success depends on how these differences enhance the whole.
