Values

That Unite Etcetera

At Etcetera, we believe values are more than just words. They live in our daily actions, shape our work style, and help us achieve meaningful results. But what do these values look like in real life? Our team members shared their thoughts on the key principles:

Freedom of Choice

“You, and only you, decide which projects to work on. We deeply respect each other’s desires and choices, and this is one of the things I love most about working here.”

— Olena Kvishchuk, Contract Coordinator

Proactivity

“It’s about taking an active stance in everything: proposing ideas, engaging with others, anticipating situations, and acting one step ahead.”

— Olena Kvishchuk, Contract Coordinator

Foundational Communication Rules

“They’ve been written in blood over the years! Throughout the agency’s existence, we’ve refined rules of communication, collaboration, and client interaction, as well as standards of work quality. Communication is the most important thing.”

— Olena Skoryk, Head of Management Team

Transparency

“The clearer and more transparent the communication between team members, the more effectively tasks are executed and mutual understanding is achieved.”

— Vladimir Tolmachev, Tech Lead

Responsible Communication

“Providing necessary information on time reduces stress and boosts the team’s confidence.”

— Nikita, Designer

These principles help us be not only an effective team but also an inspired one. And these are just a few of our core values!
