Atomic's Values

Atoms come from a variety of backgrounds, beliefs, and ways of looking at the world. And despite what you’ve heard about software makers, we don’t all like video games and craft beer. Instead, we share six values that form the foundation of everything we do at Atomic Object.

Give a Shit

Atoms don’t do things halfway. We fully invest ourselves in our work, relationships, and communities. Because if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing extremely well.

A metallic token inscribed with the Atomic Object value, "THINK LONG TERM"

Think Long Term

We want to create the right thing the first time, and have it still be meeting needs for years to come. That means thinking and planning ahead, on projects and internally.

A metallic token inscribed with the Atomic Object value, "OWN IT"

Own It

We take responsibility for the success of everything we do - from the products we create to this company we're building. At Atomic, there's no such thing as "not my problem."

A metallic token inscribed with the Atomic Object value, "SHARE THE PAIN"

Share the Pain

Life has a lot of ups and downs, but Atoms pull together. We act with kindness, empathy, and respect, and we share each other's burdens — personally and professionally.

Teach and Learn

Software moves fast, so we’re always learning and honing our craft. And we intentionally spread it around, so everyone at Atomic gets smarter. We call it the Atomic Brain Trust.

Act Transparently

We're accountable to our clients and each other. That means being open even when things aren't going smoothly. It's just the right thing to do.
