The HackerEarth Way
Creating the tech behind building great tech teams has taught us that the key to real, lasting success
is always the people. So we’ve built a culture of acceptance where introverts and extroverts,
early birds and night owls, and left brainers as well as right brainers feel at home.
We believe the best way to build a great team is by celebrating each individual.
We give our people everything that’s needed to succeed
Learning
Our goal as an organisation is to be open about where the boundary of our knowledge lies and to hire people smarter than ourselves to push this boundary outward. We’ve learned over the years that saying ‘I don’t know’ is sometimes the best thing to say, because this openness about what we don’t know has led to a plethora of learnings, and ultimately, successes.
Freedom
When an organization is small it is incredibly important to move quickly, and the only way of doing this is by having absolute trust in your colleagues’ abilities. So, needless to say, we love to empower employees with the freedom to delegate, and also to grab ownership of a task and run with it.
Transparency
We firmly believe when we stay quiet despite our inner voice wanting to say something, the whole team loses out. So, we encourage our people to never forget that their thoughts, opinions and perspectives are welcome, whether the listener would like what they’d hear or not. To this end, we’ve ensured that any employee can reach out to any superior, including the CEO.
Leadership
We believe that when our people win, we win too. So one of our missions as an organization is to imbibe a sense of leadership in every single Hackster. We believe in providing all the tools necessary to become a leader in the near future. As a result, our people are better equipped to handle tough situations, whether that’s during their stint at HackerEarth or otherwise.
The sky is no limit because of the values at our core
Customer Obsession
Our clients' success is our success and we continuously take
measures to empathise with our customers.
