Why join BestVendor?

We're changing the world, one app at a time

Every once in a while, a product changes your life. Our own office became more productive and fun after we started using Workflowy, Asana, and HipChat. Work is such a huge part of our lives; we’ve always wished there was a way for people to share how they make it better.

So now we’re building it. Join us, and help bring openness and sharing to the business world!



Values

“Best work experience ever.”

It should feel good walking into work every day, knowing you’re with people at the top of their game, dedicated to a common goal, in an environment that supports and challenges you. We aspire to do this for everyone.

The best idea wins.

We love making good ideas better. We take pride not in having the right answers, but in surfacing them. Everyone has a voice in important company and product decisions. If you disagree with something, you have an obligation to speak up.

We get shit done.

We minimize meetings, move quickly, and reward those who achieve results. If you have an idea, make it happen!

We’re always learning.

Every day, we try to improve our product, our culture, and our own work. We sometimes fall on our faces, but that’s okay.... We dust ourselves off, get back up, and use our new knowledge to make things even better. Fail fast, learn faster.

We love design.

We believe in the power of design and design thinking. We care about getting things right, delighting our users, and discovering new ways to create value. We have a weakness for awesome UX.

We err on the side of openness and generosity.

The whole point of BestVendor is to promote sharing and openness. We live by that ethos. We’re always sharing our favorite apps & hacks, ideas, fashion & restaurant tips, and everything else. When we’re not sure about a company decision, we do the thing that’s more honest and open.

We have a higher purpose.

We’re all passionate about apps, tools, technologies, and hacks, and we love to geek out about them. But there are deeper reasons we’re all here: We want to bring more openness and sharing to business. We want to make people happier and more successful in their work. We want to help create jobs and level the playing field for small companies. This is the opportunity in front of us.



Culture

One of our goals is to make BestVendor an amazing place to work. We care a lot about our culture, and invest in everyone’s professional development and workplace bliss.
