We work together towards one common purpose.

Great teams multiply individual talents. We don’t create silos here. We’re out to break down the walls so that everyone at Linode can work together towards a common goal. We hire employees from diverse backgrounds, with differing experience, and want to lean in everyone’s expertise. If something doesn’t sound right, challenge it. We love informed opinions. When used collectively, differing perspectives create the strongest solutions. As a team, we win together and we lose together.

  • Share information.
  • Ask questions- lots of questions.
  • Speak up and stand your ground.
  • Celebrate successes and learn from failure.
