Unique Organisational Design in Ubie
Quick Self-Checklists for a Better Culture Matching
- The following checklists are the typical "Ubie"-like behavior/way of thinking.
- These are just examples but we hope they would be somewhat helpful for you to understand our culture more deeply.
| Point of View | Those who tend to match | Those who don't |
|---|---|---|
My colleagues say... | I'm "purpose-oriented". Also, they say I communicate "frankly and openly" | I'm "methodology-oriented". Also, they say I communicate "in a modest and reserved manner" |
I'm good at... | hacking the human bias and common sense | doing things in a right and correct way |
I'd like to... | do everything if it's worth and necessary for achieving user/business goals | focus on my expertise and develop it more |
I love to work... | as a member of cross-functional team (e.g. scrum team) | with colleagues who have the similar speciality (e.g. design team, engineering team) |
I have experiences in... | finding out key metrics/insights which anyone has not discovered before | stretching a given key metrics by 10X |
As for setting missions, | I have experience in setting team-/ company-wide missions on my own and am committed to accomplishing them | My boss often sets my missions for me and Iβm good at doing it well |
As for the organization development, | I'm willing to join in recruiting activities, developing organizational values, and fostering its culture | I would rather leave those activities to other members of the team |
As for the performance evaluation, | I believe it's a "waste of time" to evaluate other humans correctly. Instead, we should focus on customers | I deserve to evaluate my bosses/colleagues/juniors correctly, and I deserve to be evaluated correctly too |

07. FAQs
β£
- There are three points on this.
- Language To develop the global master product in English, Singapore is an efficient market in terms of English coverage

β£
