Our Culture

We work as a team, so we play as a team too

Although we work hard to bring custom solutions to the clients we serve, it isn’t always work at RTS Labs. We believe that a team that works hard together should play together as well. When we aren’t buried in our work, we:

• Take walks around the pond together
• Have lunch together
• Gather at places around town for team-building fun
• Celebrate project launches and successes
• Enjoy monthly lightning talks
• Regularly eat delicious treats from one of our many accomplished amateur bakers

What guides us at RTS Labs

Our common principles and values in the workplace guide the discussion and interaction with our company, our people, and our clients. Those principles are:

• Leading through learning & teaching
• Mutual respect
• Honest communication

We're proud of our culture

RTS Labs is a flat organization with an open office layout that promotes creativity, collaboration, and communication. Our CEO doesn’t even have an office. Our culture thrives on:

• Leading by example
  We’ve found that we’re more efficient when we remove the barriers that hierarchy creates. Everyone at RTS has a chance to be a leader, take charge on a project, or add valuable insight to the projects they’re working on.
• Celebrating our employees
  Our employees are our biggest asset. We make sure they know it by celebrating birthdays, milestone events, and project successes.
• Dependability
  Working in a flat organization means dependability is crucial. We are a self-managed and self-motivated team, so we must truly depend on one another to complete work for our clients.
• Sincere camaraderie
  Our open office space allows great conversation and collaboration with our developers, allowing us to quickly solve problems and learn from our colleagues.
