Integrity
Always strive to do the right thing. When in doubt about what path that should take, simply reflect on what you would like to have done to you.
Proactivity
Anticipate your clients’ and co-workers’ wants and needs and then take the initiative to act upon them; don’t wait for them to call you.
Knowledge
Always be prepared to clearly articulate news and industry developments relevant to your service area while remaining firmly grounded in the technical requirements of your job.
Confidence
Believe fervently in what you (and Sequoia) do and how you do it – always demonstrate a clear link between your abilities and your recommendations.
Teamwork
Rely on the expertise of your co-workers and collaborate closely to deliver a better result for both our clients and our firm.
Responsibility
Be accountable for your actions by doing what you say you will do. There is no room for complacency, and trust is earned one action at a time.
Respect
Acknowledge and appreciate each team member for your individual worth and the qualities he or she brings to Sequoia.
Compassion
Truly care about your clients and co-workers and what they are trying to achieve; help them celebrate the successes and mourn the inevitable occasional failures.
Professionalism
Work hard and play hard; always behave in a manner that reflects positively on you and Sequoia.
Growth
Embrace a dynamic culture that pushes all of us to achieve, and which thereby will subtly change over time.
