SymTex has developed 8 core values that guide our culture, our brand and our decisions - from day-to-day operations to hiring and even which projects to accept. Our employees live by these values, and we ask that potential partners and clients review these values because we've found that the best collaboration occurs when we work with those who understand and agree with our values.

Honesty and Trust

Above all else, we value the truth. The most important thing is to keep  our word, never taking   advantage of anyone and always telling the  truth. We know that we can trust those   around us, and will only work  with those that we can trust. We will always pursue openness and  honesty, even when it hurts or we have bad news to deliver.

Positive Attitude and Fun Environment

We work in a fun, positive   outlook and environment where we care about  our relationships with our   coworkers, clients and partners. A sense  of humor and a positive   attitude are key - our work has no meaning and  no value if its not fun and if our co-workers and clients don't enjoy  being around us and working with us. We are passionate about what we do,  and we should share that passion with each other, our clients and the  world.

Respect and Empathy

We must always try to understand the cause of someone   else's  behavior. We strive to understand our cowokers and clients and accept    them, treating them as we'd like to be treated. Do not judge other  people, because you can't always understand why  someone does the things  that they do, and you should accept them as  unique, valuable  individuals.

We always respect each other, and make sure to respect our supervisors, treating them and their instructions to us with the respect they deserve. Supervisors should treat their subordinates the same way.

Family Friendship and Loyalty

We aren't just building a   company, we're building a group of friends, a  family. We'll always be   loyal to one another and to our clients, even  when that loyalty might be   difficult.

Responsibility and Honor

We will always do what is right,   moral & ethical even when it's  not the easiest thing to do. We  take  responsibility for our actions,  inactions and the impact they have  on  each other, our clients and the  world at large. This means always considering how our actions will  impact the success of a project, the project's budget and the company as  a whole.

Learn, Innovate and Share Knowledge

We always  strive  to learn new, innovative things and push ourselves  and each other to improve,  becoming  better employees as well as better  people. Knowledge should  never be  hoarded, and instead must be shared  freely with our clients  and each  other. We always try new things, and  try new approaches to old  things.  We're never afraid  to try  something because no one else has done it   before, and we strive to   accomplish things that no one thinks we can. We share the knowledge we  have with our clients, and use it to show them what course of action we  recommend and why, even when that course of action may be more difficult  for us, or may help them learn how to complete tasks themselves that  they previously paid us to do.

Constantly Improving

We should always pursue the  highest  quality results in our work as  well as our relationships, and constantly  improve both our technical  and interpersonal skills. This goes for all of us, and means that even  the newest employee should always share their feedback on how we can  improve as a company and as individuals - in both technical skills as  well as interpersonal skills, our company culture and the service we  provide our clients. While we should always pursue the highest quality,  we also must take care to improve our ability to deliver the best  quality results within the budget each client or project might have.

Cooperation and Collaboration

We must always cooperate with one another and with our clients; no  one wins when we try to one-up   or outdo each other, and even the most  difficult situations can be   better resolved with cooperation than  confrontation and arguing. We are all working together to reach a common  goal - to complete a project, to see a client be successful, to grow  our company and its unique, positive culture - and we must never lose  sight of that.
