Small Teams

Menlo is built on small teams, each organized around three things people want from their work: autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

• Autonomy: You decide how to do your work.
• Mastery: You get to go deep and get genuinely good at something hard.
• Purpose: You can see how what you're building adds up to real products in the world.

We intentionally keep our teams small. They move fast, there's less to coordinate, and everyone has the context to know what's going on. That context is what lets you make good calls on your own, sometimes even when leadership would have gone another way.

Ultimately, with great freedom comes great accountability. You're free to operate in your own way, as long as you're accountable for the results.
