Our Values

At Six Feet Up, we believe company culture and passion are key to the success and growth of our employees. Our culture is based on the following values:

Do the Right Thing

Bad code is evil and expensive for both you and our team so we make a point to employ best practices. It’s the right thing to do, and we see it as a gift to our future selves. So we deliver clean, concise and PEP8 compliant code. We document. We test. We take pride in the quality of our work. We do what's right for you.

Go Together

Just like any sports team, we are made of diverse experts who all work closely together so the whole is bigger than the sum of its parts. When we engage with our clients, they become an intrinsic part of the team. We bring up issues, options and recommendations together. We help each other.

Always Improve

Change is a constant, especially in technology. We pursue continuous learning and the betterment of ourselves as a path to fulfillment and happiness.

Be Proactive

We love solving problems, yes, but we hate having to do it in a rush as stress isn't exactly a promoter of out-of-the-box thinking. Therefore we avoid emergencies as much as possible by thinking through things and bringing up issues before they become critical.

Use a Can-Do Attitude

When faced with adversity, we use our positivity and creativity to find solutions.

Show Leadership

We provide leadership, confidence and creativity to our clients. We listen intently. We work hard to understand our client's goals, and we look at problems from every angle to provide expert advice and solutions. Where others see obstacles, we see opportunities. We’re reliable partners and lifelong learners. We serve as soundboards for our clients.
