At Symph, we believe open, constant communication is key to delivering amazing work that changes the world. Here's how we collaborate:
Communication Principles
Default to transparency. Share in public channels so the team stays informed. Make it easy to focus. Use threads or targeted channels to keep conversations on-topic. Respect everyone's time. Keep messages direct & concise. Write things down. Document key decisions and updates for easy reference. Hop on a call for urgent or complex matters. Text can't always capture the full context. Expectations
Respond to critical messages within the day (non-urgent not later than the next day) Default to public discussions and only use DMs for sensitive issues Provide context and background so everyone can engage meaningfully Proofread for clarity and tone before hitting send Turn on video for calls when possible to maximize connection Assume positive intent and strive for mutual understanding Special Notes for Newcomers
Don't hesitate to ask questions - we're here to help you succeed! Embrace our values: Go forth and love, change, hack
By communicating thoughtfully and leveraging the right channels, we can turn ambitious ideas into reality at record speed. Let's keep the conversations flowing!
