Ueno’s Culture Values

We are diverse, empathetic and open minded. We understand that people have different backgrounds and goals, but we are all trying to do our best.

We are fair. We listen, ask questions and respect different points of view (within reason). We build bridges, not walls. We have bad days. We make mistakes and learn from them to avoid making them again. We forgive ourselves and others.

We grow together with honesty. But we go further: we are raw. We are open, vulnerable, no-bullshit, straight to the point and ultra transparent.

We don’t talk behind people’s backs, we go to the source, and tell people how we feel and what we think.

Life is change. At increasingly faster speeds. We know our success relies on how fast we can adapt and that means doing things we didn’t know we could do. Going outside of our comfort zone and saying yes-we-can, even if we may have no idea how we’ll eventually do it. We’ll figure it out.

We learn fast. We look at our past selves and can’t believe how much we’ve grown.

We understand that we have a lot more power over ourselves than others. We are introspective and look for ways to be better individuals.

We pick up the trash we didn’t put down. We are the solution to other people’s problems, even the ones they didn’t know they had.

We know that not everything is about us, and that we succeed when the people around us succeed. We are small, no matter how big we are.

We go beyond and never settle. We surprise and delight, think ahead and give people more than they knew they wanted.

We know there are always ways to make things better, and better, and better. And we want to be the best. At everything we do. Our standards are very, very high, and we work very, very hard to live up to them.

We know life is ridiculous. We will all be dead soon. We are playful. We are stupid in a good way. Foolish in a better way.

We don’t live in the past, we don’t worry too much about the future. We are here, we’re alive, and that’s pretty damn great.
