Fiercely Independent
We own our conviction.
We protect creative vision and choose our partners only when alignment strengthens the work. Independence means we own the call, the cost, and the outcome.

Excellence is our standard
Quality is a habit, not a phase.
We sweat the last 10%—the part most teams miss—because that’s where the difference lives. Our creative work must be consistently excellent.

Stunning Colleagues
Talent beats headcount.
At Hello Giant, every role is mission-critical. We build teams of exceptional people who raise the bar through taste, craft, and judgment. We value people over process.

Radical Candor
Truth, delivered clean.
We say the difficult things early, directly, and respectfully. We challenge ideas hard and protect people harder. No politics. No hidden agendas. Truth scales better than comfort and candor is our medium.

Freedom
Freedom is a responsibility.
High performers move faster when they understand the full picture, and have freedom to take action. We give extraordinary people real freedom—and expect real ownership and accountability in return.

Biased towards Action
Momentum is our primary weapon.
We favor speed, judgment, and iteration over perfection. We keep things simple, cut what doesn’t matter, and learn in motion. Mistakes happen—we fix them fast and keep moving.

Team-First Mindset
Be the teammate you want to have.
We are reliable, prepared, and supportive. We elevate the work and the people around us. Ego does not ship games—teams do.
