In a global organization like Rocket.Chat, cultivating a strong and consistent culture is essential to our success. Just as various Avengers from different universes assemble to tackle challenges and protect the world, our Culture Avengers come together as a cross-functional, multi-level team dedicated to help preserving and evolving our unique cultural identity.
What is an Avenger?
An Avenger is a guardian of our culture and a role model for the values we aspire to embody. By stepping into this role, you’ll actively shape and influence Rocket.Chat’s culture, offering guidance and support on various initiatives.
Here’s the coolest part: You could be an Avenger!
We open positions throughout the year, and every Rocketeer—regardless of their role or tenure—can apply to join this dynamic team.
Remember, being an Avenger is a role, not a job assignment. Your responsibilities as an Avenger should complement your regular work activities, and vice versa—neither should hinder the other.
What’s Expected of You as an Avenger?
“With great power a cool title for LinkedIn comes great responsibility.” Here’s what being an Avenger entails:
Represent the Culture Avengers in meetings and discussions.
Participate in bi-monthly 1-hour sync calls with fellow Avengers.
Engage in discussions about ideas and activities on the Avengers channel, both synchronously and asynchronously.
Develop and deliver projects that promote our culture at Rocket.Chat.
Contribute ideas and identify issues that may impact our cultural landscape.
Red Flags to Be Aware Of
Red flags in general are a concern for any member of the company in any team. We understand Avengers is an additional workload, but still is a commitment all participants chose to be a part of and have. Avengers are guardians of the culture, so we are here to lead by example.
Below are a few items that are considered red flags:
Disregard for diversity, inclusion, or the values of Dream, Trust, Own, and Share.
Lack of participation or engagement during meetings and discussions (sync and async)
Unwillingness to take ownership of tasks.
Resistance to feedback
Failure to uphold confidentiality or breach of trust.
Failure to deliver on your regular work activities due to being with the Avengers.
In case the sponsor, avengers lead or other members see any red flags Avengers will receive a direct warning. If the situation is not remediated, the person will be removed from the Avengers.
