At Grammarly, our mission is to improve lives by improving communication. The first step toward realizing our mission comes from within; to achieve our ambitious goals, we must drive tremendous impact individually and collectively. To cultivate high-performing teams, we center our workplace culture on our EAGER values: Ethical, Adaptable, Gritty, Empathetic, and Remarkable. These values are patterns of thought and action present in each Grammarly team member. They clarify who we are, how we work together, and who we want to work with.
Ethical
We define ethical as being honorable and earning trust by doing the right thing every time, even when no one is watching. We encourage our team members to provide direct feedback, admit mistakes, and use confidential information responsibly. This commitment to ethics fosters a trusting environment where everyone feels safe to express their thoughts and collaborate openly. We strive to improve our community by showing honor in our actions, both big and small.
Adaptable
Adaptability is essential in the ever-evolving technology landscape. At Grammarly, being adaptable means embracing change to evolve and succeed with a positive, problem-solving attitude. We view challenges as opportunities for growth and take full ownership of our circumstances. Our team members are encouraged to remain open to new ideas and alternatives while supporting one another through unexpected changes. This resilience strengthens our ability to innovate and continuously improve.
Gritty
Grittiness is the ability to focus and persevere to achieve long-term goals by doing whatever it takes to get the job done whenever necessary. We not only set audacious goals, but we tackle them methodically. We push through to achieve our goals even when we are up against challenges. This relentless determination drives our success and empowers each individual to push their limits. We view setbacks as learning opportunities that fuel our drive to succeed.
Empathetic
Empathy is a cornerstone of our collaborative spirit. We treat others as they want to be treated, by actively listening, putting ourselves in their shoes, and responding accordingly. We strive to respect and include others and speak up when this standard is unmet. We assume that our team members have good intentions and seek to understand perspectives and beliefs that differ from ours. This value enables us to build strong relationships within the team and create a culture of support and collaboration. By fostering an environment where everyone feels heard and valued, we unlock the collective potential of our diverse team.
Remarkable
Finally, we define remarkable as a mindset of lifelong learning and humility. We strive to continually improve by seeking out mentors and learning opportunities. We look for team members who are intrinsic learners, leaning into their natural curiosity to drive better, unique insights or new ways of looking at problems. This dedication to improvement helps us grow as individuals and elevates the entire team. By celebrating our successes and learning from our failures, we strive to become the best versions of ourselves.
At Grammarly, we are proud of our EAGER values and remain committed to embodying them each day. They define who we are as a team and guide us on our journey toward excellence. By aligning our actions with these values, we empower individuals while ensuring effective teamwork, ultimately impacting our community and those we serve in positive ways. If these values resonate with you, we encourage you to check out our open roles and join us in elevating communication so that everyone can show up as their best self.
