OUR PURPOSE
To bring brilliant people together to make meaningful change
We are very clear on the components of our culture and it’s all about being brilliant at what we do.
We value most the attributes and behaviours that make us shine.
Our values
1.

3.
Improvement
As individuals, teams and a company we need to continually learn and evolve in order to be the best.
4.
Impact

Our Culture Manifesto
In 2020, as a result of the Black Lives Matter movement, we formed a new community at Code, that would make sure we were always promoting inclusivity, diversity and the right way to behave to each other. We call this community the PDD (Promoting Digital Diversity) and we decided one of our first actions was to create clarity on how we describe our culture so we could be clear on the inclusive values and behaviours that are important to us.
So we created our Culture Manifesto…
We’re a brilliant bunch
We’re friendly, passionate people – thinkers and doers who care deeply about their craft and strive for brilliance every day.
We’re a place to grow
Code is a place to learn, grow, and continually improve. It’s a place to kickstart your digital career, make lifelong friends, and shape your own future.
We’re human-centred
We thrive individually, and do our best work together, in an atmosphere of care and compassion. Whether we’re in the office or working remotely, we all look out for each other, and our dedicated mental health allies are always there if you need someone to talk to.
We’re enriched by diversity
Diversity is something we applaud; we embrace every shade of skin, every religion, and every ethnicity. We respect every gender, and every sexuality. We welcome people with disabilities and value the different perspectives they can bring. And we always aim to mix experience with youth.
We’re all ourselves
We encourage everyone to bring their whole selves to work – we love and accept people for who they are, and enjoy each other’s oddities.
We communicate openly
Our culture thrives on honest reflection, feedback and open conversations, and we’ve worked hard to make sure these things continue during remote and hybrid work. At Code, everyone has the chance to be heard, so we can move forward as a group.
We mix it up
Our cross-discipline teams have collaboration in their DNA; we aim to bring amazing people from diverse backgrounds together to create brilliant products.
We trust people
We give people the freedom to take risks and make mistakes, the autonomy to make decisions, and the opportunity to make an impact.
We value relationships
We take the time to get to know each other and our clients so we can communicate more effectively, align around a shared vision, and push each other to do our best work.
We’re more than just a place to work
From bouldering and board games to beers and a boogie, there’s more to life at Code than just the work – fun, friendship, and a fair amount of love are all part of the package, and everyone who’s ever worked at Code is part of the family for good.
