Rainforest's Core Values

1. Ownership mindset

Make decisions like a founder would. Take well-calculated risks, be entrepreneurial to improve & expand our brands. Be a responsible owner of the company’s resources.

2. Team-first

Emphasis on the team, rather than the individual. Understand that your success is always dependent of others around you & having gratitude for that. Generous in recognising and acknowledging good work done by others

3. Positively-biased

Demonstration of high positivity: think solutions, not (only) problems - Have fun, celebrate successes, learn from our failures - Takes work seriously, but doesn’t take own self too seriously

4. Strong opinions, weakly held

We encourage and prefer teammates to have a robust point of view, but simultaneously recognising that there are other viewpoints that could be better. We value strong listening abilities

5. High efficiency

Solves for the 20% that gives 80% of the results first. Speed x iteration is a problem-solving tool. Thinks about ROI
