We are Skyward.
That is a love for people for improvement for human advancement through information technology. We are a peoplecentered business with a desire to serve others. We are diverse and unified; creative and collaborative; a collection of complementary not competing talents. And though on the surface we remain relaxed beneath a torrent of energy links us to our civic tech mission.
We stand by our values and we wont compromise on any of them.
Integrity: Were conscientious intentional and empathetic. Our words and actions align. Thats our character. Please dont ask us to play another part were poor actors.

Inquisitive: We remain students by failing openly and turning lessons into solutions.
Unconventional: For us life isnt what happens outside of work. Work happens inside of life and our culture erases the line often dividing the two.
