Topsort Culture

Our team is all about straightforward communication, embracing feedback without taking it personally, and fostering a super collaborative environment. We thrive on working together, lifting each other up, and getting things done with a sense of urgency. We're the kind of team that loves making bold choices, sharing extraordinary opinions, and maintaining a 100 mph pace. No endless meetings here – if it can be done today, we're all about getting it done today.

• Direct and Speedy: we move quickly, experiment boldly, and get things done today, not tomorrow. Feedback is candid, and the drive for constant improvement is part of our DNA.
• Ideas > Titles: We believe the best ideas win, regardless of who they come from. If you have a great idea, we want to hear it.
• Embrace a Sports Team Mentality: We're only competitive externally, and very collaborative internally. Everyone plays a vital role, and together, we win as a team.
• Silicon Valley to the World: Founded by Stanford and Harvard alumni during the pandemic, we offer flexible working arrangements and (at least) one in-person offsite gathering per year to stay connected as a team.
• Valued for Your Individuality: From personalized birthday gifts to work anniversaries, and management training program or in-person gatherings or career talks and mentorships, part-time DJs and tik-tok vloggers are also commercial leaders and technical staff at Topsort. We don’t take management with a cookie cutter approach - but rather we cherish your quarkes and think it makes us stronger.
