Open Getting Started

Getting Started at Anedot

Getting started at Anedot is an exciting adventure, a number of big tasks, learning the details of your new job, meeting new coworkers—all while working remotely. Your teammates, your manager, and People Team are here to help as you navigate your first few days and weeks.

Your First Few Days

Before you start, the People team will order you a new computer with specs while keeping in mind the demands of your work.

A day or two before you start, your manager will email you instructions for your first day. Your manager will be your point of contact for your early projects and activities. All of the accounts and services you need to work at Anedot (or Sub) should automatically provision through Okta.

On your first day, you’ll go through Day One Orientation with Judy then get released to your team. During your first week, Judy will setup additional orientation training for you with leaders from each department: Customer Experience, Engineering, Marketing, and People Ops

Open How We Work

How We Work

Organizational Philosophy

We Are a Team of Player-Coaches

Every person here is expected to be in the work — not above it. Leaders build alongside their teams. Experts develop the people around them. There is no class of people whose job is to manage information up and down a chain. We trust each other with context and expect each other to act on it.

A player-coach builds. A player-coach develops. A player-coach owns outcomes — not just responsibilities.

Ownership Lives With a DRI

Every meaningful initiative, problem, or opportunity has a single Directly Responsible Individual (DRI). Not a committee. Not a shared accountability. One person who owns the outcome, has the authority to act, and is accountable for the result.

DRIs are assigned to outcomes, not permanently to roles. The best person for the problem owns the problem — regardless of title.

Three Roles. No Bureaucracy.

Your First Year at Anedot

Congratulations! You're part of the team!

In your first few weeks, you'll get aligned with your manager and team on approach and expectations. You'll get up and running, doing real work. It's our responsibility to give you opportunities to demonstrate your skills and fit for the job. This includes your technical expertise, your engagement with coworkers, and your ability to take feedback and adapt to Anedot culture. Similarly, it's on you to take advantage of opportunities and to show that you're capable of meeting the team standards.

When you start, you'll receive an outline of expectations. Those standards will be clear and attainable, and your manager will give you frequent, candid feedback on how you're doing meeting them, as you go.

During your first 100 days, we'll schedule a review around 45-day and 100-day marks. On occasion, despite our collective best efforts, it's not a fit. We don't do full-scale performance improvement plans during the

Open How We Come Together

How We Come Together

Meet-ups

The entire company gathers in person at least once a year, typically twice. Most of the planning is taken care of for you; you just need to book your flights. Lodging, meeting space, agenda, and social outings will be planned and communicated well in advance.

There are some scheduled talks at every meet-up, like the All Hands session and peer appreciation. Occasionally, we bring in outside speakers or trainers. Other than that, the meet-up is intentionally loosely structured. Teams huddle for a strategy sessions, groups go out for coffee, or managers meet 1:1s with employees.

Meet-ups are typically 3–4 days. The specific schedule varies, but generally includes arrival the evening before, full working days, and travel home after the final session. Everyone should come to every meet-up.

All Hands

At the end of every cycle, we hold an All Hands meeting. Everyone at the company gathers virtually (or in person, at meetups) to hear about product development, b

Open Managing Work Devices

Managing Work Devices

Everyone receives a new Mac when they join Anedot. We centrally manage and secure these devices with Apple Business Manager (ABM) which reduces our exposure to security incidents. APM applies a standard configuration to every device (e.g. enable disk encryption, firewall, password rules), and it will ensure the apps have the latest security updates applied. APM also allows us to remotely wipe devices should they be lost, or when an employee leaves the company.

This doesn’t mean you are being monitored or tracked! APM is a configuration management system, not a panopticon.

Access to code and secrets

Knowing our devices are safe and secure allows us to entrust our work computers with access to sensitive systems like Vault, and our internal VPN and remote servers. This means installing the VPN, checking out Ane

Open Moonlighting

A Note About Moonlighting

Moonlighting means working other professional, paid jobs outside of your work at Anedot. It’s not a black and white topic. There are one-time gigs, other pursuits, or opportunities that help you grow and make life interesting. We want to support that. But we want to make sure professional endeavors outside of Anedot don’t create conflicts of interest or affect your time, dedication, or performance at Anedot. So it’s a delicate balance.

With that in mind, here are some examples of what we’d consider OK and what we would consider a conflict of interest and not OK:

OK

1. An occasional side gig, free or paid, for someone you know. For example, if you want to work on a friend’s website, or a design or writing project for something you’re involved with, that’s fine.

2. An occasional speaking gig, free or paid. Someone’s going to pay you to give a talk somewhere? That’s fine as long as it doesn’t involve multiple days off for travel (unless you use your o

• Assume good intentions. Approach work relationships defaulting to trust and positivity.

• Work "in the open" and be open to teaching and learning from others.

If an employee is found to have violated our Code of Conduct, it will be permanently documented in their personnel file. Depending on th
