If you’re gearing up for an interview at Grammarly, you may encounter our MOVE Operating Principles, which serve as the blueprint for how we get work done. These principles aren’t just rules we follow—they’re the essence of how we operate, grow, and adapt to better serve our customers. This unique blend of principles creates an exciting opportunity to be part of a workplace that’s as dynamic and innovative as you are.
Let’s look closer at our MOVE framework, built on four core principles: Move fast and learn faster, obsess about creating customer value, value impact over activity, and embrace healthy disagreement rooted in trust. These principles aren’t just guidelines; they’re the language that brings us together as a team.
This blog post will walk you through each principle and explain how it helps shape our collaborative culture.
Move fast and learn faster
In the fast-paced tech industry, being quick on your feet is essential. At Grammarly, we’re all about ambitious timelines, recognizing that success hinges on our ability to act quickly and make decisions. We embrace the opportunity to learn from our actions, always striving to balance speed with insight.
Obsess about creating customer value
Our users are at the center of everything we do. By understanding their needs, we can tackle real challenges and deliver value that matters. We’re committed to impactful projects and honest feedback, which guides us in refining and enhancing our offerings. We’re driven by what genuinely helps our users, steering clear of novelty for novelty’s sake.
Value impact over activity
We’re all about making a difference. We channel our efforts into initiatives that promise real impact, unafraid to take bold leaps if they align with our mission. We measure success by the tangible changes we bring about rather than by how busy we are. We celebrate the quality and impact of our work, not just the effort.
Embrace healthy disagreement rooted in trust
Diversity of thought is our superpower. We welcome different viewpoints, knowing they lead to better decisions. Our culture is one in which everyone feels heard and respected, fostering an environment where open, honest dialogue thrives. Disagreements, when approached with trust and openness, only make us stronger. Our focus remains on what’s best for Grammarly beyond individual teams or projects.
Identifying with our MOVE Operating Principles is a great way to gauge how well you’ll fit in at Grammarly. We’re searching for individuals who share our commitment to these principles and who will thrive in a fast-paced, customer-focused, and collaborative environment.
