Our Values

Judgment

You make wise decisions (people, technical, business, and creative) despite ambiguity. You identify root causes, and get beyond treating symptoms. You think strategically, and can articulate what you are, and are not, trying to do. You smartly separate what must be done well now, and what can be improved later.

Passion

You inspire others with your thirst for excellence. You care intensely about Prodjex’ success. You celebrate wins. You are tenacious.

Impact

You accomplish amazing amounts of important work. You demonstrate consistently strong performance so colleagues can rely upon you. You focus on great results rather than on process. You exhibit bias-to-action, and avoid analysis-paralysis.

Curiosity

You learn rapidly and eagerly. You seek to understand our strategy, market, subscribers, and suppliers. You are broadly knowledgeable about business, technology and entertainment. You contribute effectively outside of your speciality.

Innovation

You re-conceptualize issues to discover practical solutions to hard problems. You challenge prevailing assumptions when warranted, and suggest better approaches. You create new ideas that prove useful. You keep us nimble by minimizing complexity and finding time to simplify.

Courage

You say what you think even if it is controversial. You think through decisions without excessive agonizing. You take smart risks. You question actions inconsistent with our values.

Communication

You listen well, instead of reacting fast, so you can better understand. You are concise and articulate in speech and writing. You treat people with respect independent of their status or disagreement with you. You maintain calm poise in stressful situations.

Selflessness

You seek what is best for Prodjex, rather than best for yourself or your group. You are ego-less when searching for the best ideas. You make time to help colleagues. You share information openly and proactively.

Honesty

You are known for candor and directness. You are non-political when you disagree with others. You only say things about fellow employees you will say to their face. You are quick to admit mistakes.
