Work With Us

Have fun.
Do hard things.

Our Culture

We…

1. Are customer-obsessed
   • Are obsessed with our customer’s (and theirs)
     • Start with the customer and work backward
2. Think differently (Duh. Our name is New Path.)
   • Think big
   • Challenge what we “know.”
   • Value simplicity
3. Prefer self-sufficiency and take ownership of our actions
   • Believe in context, not control
   • Seek advice and opinions from others BUT
     • Aren’t afraid to make decisions and act boldly
   • Know results matter
     • Have the self-honesty to admit when we’re wrong and the courage to change
4. Share information openly, broadly, and deliberately
   • Are candid with one another
5. Demand that processes & policies improve productivity
   • Loathe bullshit jobs
   • Avoid rules that solve for the exception
   • Are treated like adults
6. Only work with highly effective people
   • Hire for culture
   • Hire to elevate (not delegate)
   • Are a team, not a family
7. Deserve the opportunity to live a rewarding life
   • Believe work should be fulfilling and fun
   • Are encouraged to take care of ourselves and our families

In all that we do, we try to use good judgment:
