In our job postings, we intentionally use the informal “you” to reflect our open and collegial corporate culture. It’s a way to show that we value mutual respect and treat one another as equals. However, during the application process, we maintain a respectful and professional tone, which is why we initially stick to a more formal approach. Once you join the company, this formal address transitions into our established culture of using first names and informal speech.
