The most important bit

At Egg, everyone's ideas and perspectives are welcomed and encouraged. We're constantly striving to do better and be better: we give each other feedback regularly, not just top-down from leadership, but bottom-up and sideways too Accountability is key: it's okay to make mistakes as long as we own and learn from them. People who thrive at Egg have a deep curiosity to keep improving, learning and coaching others.

Our nest is made up of people from all walks of life and from different social and cultural backgrounds. We believe equity and inclusivity lead to better work and a better world. That's why, when we're hiring new people we don't talk about \"culture fit\", but \"culture add\".
