Identity Digital Company Culture & Values

What values do you ideally want to see in an employer?

I value an employer that genuinely cares about its people. For me, that means prioritizing well-being and work-life balance while recognizing and rewarding contributions. I also look for a company that challenges the status quo, celebrates both individual and team achievements, and provides meaningful opportunities for growth and development. Recognition, integrity and a true commitment to doing the right thing really stand out to me.

How does your employer show a commitment to these values? 

Our benefits reflect our belief that people thrive when they feel supported and valued. We offer a wellness program, generous PTO, volunteer time off and a holiday closure to ensure everyone has time to rest and recharge. We also take time to recognize each other to celebrate each other’s contributions, big and small, fostering a culture of gratitude and appreciation. Beyond benefits, our culture prioritizes integrity, personal growth and continuous learning, with encouragement to explore and apply AI in ways that make work easier and more impactful for people.

Why is it important to you that your employer shares these values? 

When the company’s values align with mine, it makes work feel more meaningful. I feel supported, respected and part of something bigger than just my own role. It’s easier to bring my best when there’s trust, recognition and a real sense of belonging. Seeing teams model integrity and collaboration isn’t just motivating; it creates an environment where people want to grow, contribute and make an impact. 

Your one-line philosophy on recognition?

You don't need grand gestures to make people feel appreciated. Small, genuine acts of appreciation often have the greatest impact.

What data or policy backs it up? 

Each employee at name.com receives peer-to-peer WorkTango points to recognize teammates who go above and beyond. This system empowers everyone to celebrate great work in real time, and points can be redeemed for goods and services. Additionally, we present quarterly companywide awards at our All Hands to honor those who truly go the extra mile.

Which ritual keeps recognition alive?

While recognizing colleagues for great work is important, it’s one of those things that can be easy to overlook day-to-day. To keep recognition top of mind, we do three things: Slack shout outs (we have a #kudos channel), regular team team meeting acknowledgements, and all-hands celebrations and wins. The combination of these three rituals ensure that we’re always finding small ways to make people feel appreciated at work.

Describe your experience with the onboarding process at your company.

My first 90 days, I felt that doors were open to me at Identity Digital. As in-house counsel at a global organization, knowing who to talk to and how to best communicate key information is vital. By suggesting which folks I should meet with and then by helping to set up and participate in many of those meetings, my team helped me grow my internal network far faster than I would have on my own.
 

In addition, we also have thrice weekly team meetings where I could pose questions and engage in team discussions, as well as standing one-on-ones with each member of the legal team for informal talks. During the in-between-times, the team stayed connected through Slack and quick huddle convos. Because all team members engaged, I saw the value of an especially strong team feedback loop.

What about your onboarding experience made it so effective?

Having the whole team partake in my onboarding was a first for me. That is to say, beyond the welcome lunch or initial excitement of someone new — me — the team remained engaged and invested in my training and encouraged me to problem solve. This consistency allowed me to be more effective more quickly.
