We Put Atredians First.

We put Atredians and their loved ones first.  We value each other as individuals, and celebrate our lives both inside and outside the work environment.

• We Strive to Find a Positive Work-life Balance: We understand that life outside of work is important, and we encourage each other to take the time they need to recharge, focus on others, and attend to personal matters. Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where our obligations to ourselves and our loved ones are respected.

• We Balance Client Requests with Team Capacity: We work with clients to understand and set realistic expectations, ensuring that the workload is manageable for our team, so we can mitigate burnout or overwork.

• We Set Healthy Boundaries: While we always strive to meet client expectations, we will not do so at the expense of our employees' well-being. We set clear boundaries throughout an engagement’s lifecycle to ensure that client needs are met in a sustainable and respectful manner.

We Treat Everyone With Respect.

We show consideration for other’s thoughts, feelings, and lived experiences, whether they are fellow Atredians, clients, peers, or partners.

• We Assume Best Intent: We agree that we are all acting with the best of intentions so we can engage more fully, communicate more effectively, and create an environment of trust and collaboration. We value each person's point of view and approach conversations with openness and curiosity, even when we disagree. We approach conflicts directly, respectfully, and with a focus on resolving the core issue and hearing all sides.

• We Practice Empathy: We recognize that everyone has different racial and cultural backgrounds, perspectives, and challenges, and that these differences can sometimes influence how we communicate or act. We respect each Atredian’s cultural or religious beliefs, as well as their sexual orientation, gender identity, or neurodiversity.

• We Embrace Our Mistakes: We accept that we are all imperfect human beings, and we aren’t afraid to acknowledge our faults. We support one another in learning from our errors and moving forward in a constructive way.  When we or another Atredian makes a mistake, we own that responsibility together and approach the situation with a spirit of learning, using it as an opportunity to grow and strengthen our relationships and develop new skills.

• We Keep Our Word: We honor our commitments and obligations, both to our clients and to each other. If we are unable to meet a deadline or promise, we will communicate early and proactively to find a solution. We strive to balance our personal commitments outside of work with our commitment to deliver excellent work for our clients and our peers. 

We Are Invested in Atredis’ Future.

We are committed to building a sustainable future for Atredis Partners. We work to ensure the company remains financially stable, operationally efficient, and resilient. We all work together to build something that outlasts each of us.

• We Help Each Other Grow:  We encourage the personal and professional growth of each and every Atredian, providing constructive feedback, mentorship, training, and support as needed. We work to continuously expand our knowledge and expertise, and to help each Atredian find their own path of personal and professional growth.

• We Work to Grow Atredis: We understand that the company’s growth is essential for our long-term success and stability. We look for opportunities to grow our offerings and expand our relationships with both new and longstanding clients. 

• We Take Ownership: Because we are a 100% employee owned firm, we are all owners here, with a real personal investment in the success of Atredis. This means that we all benefit directly from the successes of our fellow Atredians, and we strive to keep a founder’s mindset in our daily work.

• We Embrace Change: We will always question the status quo, and strive to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. We take a scientific, results-based approach to our processes and workflows, always refining and improving the way we work together and deliver. As the company evolves, we keep an open mind about new ideas and new ways to deliver beyond our peers’ and our clients’ expectations.

• We Pursue Excellence: We work to create a culture where excellence is the standard in everything we do. By consistently upholding the highest standards of delivery and execution, we are building a firm that is respected and admired in the security research industry, leaving behind a legacy of quality and integrity. We know that the best way to build our company is to build a reputation for quality and excellence in delivery.
