Our mission & values

Back to About Us

Mission

  • Empowering scientists by making automation a reality for every lab

Culture statement

 

Automata is a company that champions impact, trust and recognition. We do this through a culture of empowered ownership and utilising meaningful collaboration to achieve the right things.

We have high expectations, therefore the business is responsible for providing a clear mission which enables empowered teams.

Everyone is responsible for contributing to and maintaining the culture by living our values.

 

Values

  • This does not mean ‘the customer is always right’ - impactful partnerships over incorrect sales
  • We exist to provide impact to our customers - we must continually defer back to customer needs
  • Failing to centralise the customer in our decisions will lead to failure for everyone
  • This is the order of priority for how we make decisions when it’s crunch time
  • You need to be actualised to impact your team, the team is crucial to the business and the business impacts the customer
  • You cannot wield this value to force through bad decisions for short term commercial wins
  • People here should leverage their peers - if they need to
  • Collaboration is not the same as consensus and does not always require a meeting
  • Collaboration can also mean working transparently and sharing effectively at the right time to the right audience
  • Drive trust through your behaviours and communication
  • Collaborate with empathy. Set clear boundaries and respect people's time as well as our own
  • Actions should be driven by the north star or mission - leaders are responsible for communicating this
  • Leverage information available and avoid waiting for ‘perfect’
  • This is an impact value that can be present at any level in the hierarchy
  • No one gets in your way as long as you’re working transparently and your actions don’t conflict with value 1
  • You have permission to fail as long as you learn from those failures and apply your learnings
  • Be authentic
  • The business will provide the clarity and information you need to work autonomously - leverage it
  • We hold ourselves to high standards - delivering on your commitments & owning any errors
  • The business will invest in your growth and development and give you space to be your full authentic self
  • Leaders set an example of accountability - showing up, delivering, being dependable
