  1. What is the Moralis DNA? Explain each of the components.
    The Moralis DNA is that which everyone who gets hired needs to have, and that means people who are:

  • Fearless: Be able to go outside of our comfort zone to find the best possible solutions.

  • Selfless: That we take the whole team into consideration and work together - with and for others :slight_smile:

  • Tireless: We are energetic and hungry for success (excellence). We push the wagon each and every day, especially after we’ve already rested and recharged.

  1. What kind of people do we need at Moralis? Fill in the blanks:
  • self-going
  • self-driven
  • self-motivated
  1. What traits do such people have? Explain in depth all the parts!

  • Never idle
    As part of the team, we are expected to be at work, when we’re supposed to be at work - always keep pushing the wagon - and to never just be on stand-by, even if we get stuck because we need to wait on someone else who might not be available right away. There’s always something meaningful to work on or different ways to solve that situation, but just staying idle and wasting time is not acceptable. We are all expected to have short toes as well, so we shouldn’t be afraid of stepping on anyone’s toes by trying to keep the momentum going.

  • Solution-oriented
    As part of the Moralis team, we are expected to BYOS (bring your own solution). This means that we should be able to find our answers after researching to try to fix things by ourselves before we go ask for guidance and to pitch in with new ideas or innovations if we see fit along the way.

  • Bias For Action
    Bias for action, as mentioned in a previous reply, is accepting that we might make mistakes so that we remain action-oriented and don’t get paralyzed by indecision about what to do next. Fast results is the name of the game, so we should keep our focus on constantly pushing the wagon so that we don’t fall into the trap of analysis paralysis or sticking to a slow, quiet path without risk. Keeping a fast pace means we might make mistakes sometimes, but that same bias for action also allows us to course correct quickly.

  • Sense of urgency
    A sense of urgency is the feeling that a matter is pressing and can’t wait. Having a sense of urgency means that - while not compromising any of the other values - we should complete our tasks as soon as possible because time is of the essence and if we use it efficiently, it’ll have a big impact on our results.

  1. What do we mean by massive delivery?
    Massive delivery means that when we join Moralis, we’re expected to onboard ourselves and achieve visible results in the shortest time possible. If at some point we feel something is missing, we can flag it with our manager to make sure we keep going.

  2. What is meant by “the baseline” and what do you have to do in regards to “the baseline”?
    “The baseline” means the level at which the team at Moralis is already performing. As a new recruit within Moralis, we’re expected to perform at that same level - or better - as soon as possible. Otherwise, we’d be decreasing the talent density within Moralis.

1. What is the Moralis DNA? Explain each of the components.

  • Fearless - Ready to go outside the comfort zone, to find the best solution possible. You want to take on new challenges.
  • Selfless - You alone cannot achieve anything, you have to play in teams. One person only has 24hr per day, but a team has many more. We are here to achieve greatness together by working together, sharing information, supporting each other, handling difficulties and celebrating wins.

  • Never Idle - Sometimes you may get stuck, and need help from someone unavailable. You must act during that time, inform your squad on slack you are blocked and find another task while you wait for a response. It is unacceptable to be idle, because you are waiting for someones permission, or don’t want to step on someone toes (At Moralis the toes are short). You must be proactive and do something meaningful for Moralis every day.
  • Solution Oriented - if stuck and waiting for help, ensure you do your best research of the problem. Don’t waste time, do something to gain knowledge and understand the problem. Be solution oriented and try figure things out independently. If you’ve done everything possible then grab another task while you wait.
  • Bias for Action - Keep your focus on action, don’t be in analysis paralysis or pick the slow path without risk. Everyone will make mistakes, but it’s about the percentage of mistakes, the swift correction and resolution which is important.
  • Sense of urgency - Time gained/lost has a compounding effect at a high growth startup. Try get results as fast as possible without compromising Moralis’s values.

4. What do we mean with massive delivery?

  • You are expected to progress quickly and achieve massive delivery in the shortest time possible. You cannot get stuck learning the ropes for months.

5. What is meant by “the baseline” and what do you have to do in regards to “the baseline”?

  • Baseline - When you join a team your job is to quickly as possible become as good as your team members, and ideally better
  • If baseline isn’t reached, then you are decreasing the talent density

  1. Fearless, Selfless and Tireless. Members of the Moralis team need to be willing and able to accept any new challenge and conquer it head on, you must be ok with feeling uncomfortable, it is part of the process. You must understand that you can only do so much as an individual, you are here for your team and they are here for you, make sure that is known. We all get tired, but being able to dig deep and push to the finish line is a part of any winning team.

  2. Self-less, self-motivated, self-employed.

  3. Traits such people have are honesty, trustworthiness, dedication, and deliberate purpose. Someone who is self-less isn’t always about putting others before themselves, it’s about having a genuine concern for their needs. Being self-motivated requires discipline, you know the right thing to do, even when no one is looking, so do it and don’t waste anyone else’s time, take action, take the initiative! Being self-employed means you are actively working and should not be idle, if you become idle on one task due to something outside of your abilities at the moment, put it aside and begin working on something else for the time being, do not wait around for someone else.

  4. If you are hired by Moralis you are expected to arrive with massive delivery. You were hired for a reason, prove it that you are capable, not for the sake of proving it but because it is the truth. Feed off the energy and the environment that you are in, help your team mates and achieve truly great things.

  5. The baseline is the operating standard at which the team was performing prior to your arrival. You must tune into the baseline as quickly as possible so that you can get up to speed and begin to exceed the previous baseline. The longer you remain below baseline the more you are directly causing the performance of that team to suffer.

     self-going
     self-driven

     Never idle - that means that if somehow you are stuck and waiting on some decision, you have to be pro-active and state that you are blocked.
     Solution oriented - in case the solution for a issue is not known, do your best to research it and find the solution yourself. If you are still waiting for help then be pro-active and grab another task.
     Bias for action - you have to accept the fact that you will make mistakes, and the focus should be on taking action and delivering instead of going into analysis paralysis and sticking to a slow process
     Sense of urgency - gotta go fast is the motto in a startup which is growing fast, so the focus should be on getting the results as fast as possible in

  4. Massive delivery means that as a new hire you are expected to perform and deliver as soon as possible. For example, pass the onboarding phase as soon as possible.

You have to be pro-active ensuring that you do something meaningful fand push the wagon.

Solution oriented - try to figure things out independently if possible.
