Culture

We believe that a great company culture is a critical ingredient to our success. Not only does a great culture help attract great people, it also helps people deliver their best work.

The Palo Alto Software culture is built around 6 key pillars:

  1. We rely on data
  2. We solve for the customer
  3. We're transparent
  4. We give you the autonomy to be awesome
  5. We're picky about our peers
  6. We value community

We strive to be people-centric, to build trusting relationships, to elevate our colleagues, and to work happy. Learn more about the management philosophy that supports our culture and employees:

We believe in:

  • Affordable software: Small businesses should have access to quality tools at affordable prices.
  • Simplicity: Our software tools were built by small business owners for small business owners, and are very easy to use.
  • Quality service: We take pride in our excellent customer service. Our knowledgeable Customer Advocacy team is ready to assist you with any app or service questions.
  • Small businesses: We recognize that job creation comes from small businesses. Every business that we help to start and grow means a better future for everyone.
  • Entrepreneurship: Anyone can start a business, and we're here to help both first-time entrepreneurs and experienced business owners succeed.
  • Giving back: All entrepreneurs should have the opportunity and tools to start their own business. We support this by sponsoring business plan and entrepreneurship competitions, donating free software to SCORE and SBDC offices around the country, and by giving students and educators the tools they need to learn about business.

And finally, we believe in the importance of having fun while you start, run, and grow your business!
