Is PD Right For You?

Being healthy is not your #1 value. At PD, it’s a permission-to-play value.

Thrive

You do not place your health above all.

Comet

You do not work out or invest time to better your health.

Energize

You are not concerned with improving your health.

Peace

You don’t prioritize improving health before anything else.

Flourish

You don’t care to take care of yourself, your health, your mind, your family, your community, and your future. You won’t last here.

Star

You aren’t always learning. ALWAYS.

Spark

You aren’t into reading and studying on your own time.

Liberty

You don’t think reading or learning is a priority.

Peace

You are unwilling to learn, relearn, and unlearn.

Star

You are not ready to shed away what you’ve learned or have gotten accustomed to. Be like water.

Render

You lack the passion for learning and are not a reader.

Ideas

You aren’t keen on learning, growing, and becoming the best version of yourself.

Comet

You think reading or studying can be tiresome.

Flourish

You prefer sticking strictly to your role without broadening your skills. Here, you’re encouraged to explore beyond your job description and learn about other areas of the business.

Echo

You resist letting go of familiar habits.

Render

You have ‘so much going on in your personal life’ that you cannot dedicate time to studying and improving yourself.

Energize

You lack initiative.

Amplify

You don’t thrive alongside gritty and ambitious teammates.

Thrive

You don’t enjoy working with others as teammates.

Liberty

You avoid disagreement and conflict. Your instinct is to appease at all costs.

Peace

You can’t be flexible and roll with the punches. Timelines can be exciting, presentations can be intense, and there can often be conflict, but it’s always productive conflict and at the end of the day we’re always a team.

Amplify

You lead with an ‘I’ mentality vs a team mentality.

Energize

You tend to put ‘me’ before ‘we’.

Comet

You lack curiosity — people who don’t want to know more beyond ‘I just need to know what I need to know for my job.’ You won’t last long here.

Echo

You don’t like to be held accountable for your goals. If you’re lazy it will become quickly obvious.

Amplify

Being held accountable to your goals is too much for you.

Ideas

You lack self-discipline. Laziness is not an option here. Words mean nothing without actions to back.

Render

You lack hunger. If you’re looking to coast, best to go elsewhere. Coasters are for tables.

Echo

You’re looking for a place to coast with doing the bare minimum. This place is demanding. Being here requires a lot of work, including work on yourself outside of work hours.

Star

Committing to health, wisdom, and teamwork goals is not your priority.

Present

You want to work somewhere you can clock in and clock out with minimal personal involvement.

Peace

You don’t seek support in realizing your goals.

Flourish

You’re the kind of person that wants to keep your personal life completely separate from your professional life.

Liberty

Responsibilities may be too much for you. Our junior A players could wipe the floor w/ your average intermediate/senior.

Ideas

You don’t see yourself as a leader. There are ample opportunities for everyone to take the lead, but it comes at a price some people are unwilling to pay: high expectations + high pressure.

Star

You’re looking for a traditional, corporate setting where seniority and artificial harmony reign supreme.

Energize

You’re not multidisciplinary. An intern could come in and take your job if they are better than you. You need to provide value in multiple ways.

Amplify

You aren’t prepared to be a leader.

Comet

You aren’t open to the opportunity to lead or try new things.

Present

You often think, ‘That’s someone else’s issue.’

Peace

You don’t take complete ownership.

Focus

You don’t own everything you do, and have to answer for it.

Render

You have no ambitions, no dreams, no goals, no desires to be great at anything. If you always have a reason for falling short or failing at something, you wouldn’t want to work here.

Star

You’re not self-motivated with a strong drive to do the best work you can do. If you need constant direction or like to take shortcuts when no one’s watching, you won’t do well at PD.

Amplify

You don’t have very high expectations of yourself.

Render

You aren’t open to the opportunity to lead or try new things.

Present

You don’t share our ambition, or don’t dream big.

Ideas

You have a fragile Ego, and can’t handle the public call-outs.

Play

You quickly defend yourself whenever challenged or questioned, and don’t engage in conversations or critiques with an open, curious mind.

Energize

You can’t be coached.

Ideas

You can’t handle feedback that isn’t sugar-coated. We value honest and uncomfortable conversations.

Thrive

You’re someone who has a lot of ego and can’t take work feedback and criticism well, seeing it as a personal attack.

Flourish

You struggle to accept feedback and constructive criticism.

Echo

You can’t handle that nobody here cares about your ego.

Render

You can’t take criticism well, and be humble and curious about it. Big egos stand out like a sore thumb. It’s all out of love and a commitment to always raise the standards.

Amplify

You’re unprepared for frequent tests and challenges requiring critical thinking.

Liberty

You don’t value honest criticism and feedback.

Comet

You despise difficult conversations, such as to receive feedback and critique. If you take negative feedback and critique heavily and crumble under its weight, look for work elsewhere. This team demands and delivers frequent feedback.

Star

You can’t handle criticism. Be prepared for touch feedback, given directly sometimes in front of other team members, those with ‘thin skin’ will have trouble here.

Liberty

You don’t have the grit to exist within our ecosystem. If you’re too soft despite talent.

Ideas

You don’t like being surrounded by ambitious people. You can’t handle the pressure to get ahead.

Thrive

You don’t like a fast pace or high expectations.

You can’t handle the workload. Certain weeks you may have late nights if you don’t work smart and manage your time well.

Comet

You lack the courage to seize opportunities and make the most of each day.

Liberty

You can’t handle being outside of comfort zone every day.

Render

You dislike being uncomfortable, unwilling to venture outside of your comfort zone. Being here calls for becoming comfortable with the discomfort of growth.

You need us to have a ping-pong table.

Ideas

You lack the drive to learn, grow, and become your best self.

Comet

You don’t want to tackle interesting creative challenges with large Enterprise-level organizations.

Energize

You’re not interested in professional and personal growth.

Present

You expect to just coast at PD to get a pay cheque. You need to be engaged, take action, and be a part of the culture. You can be a creative, jock, hippie, nerd, or metal head, but you’ve gotta be able to clean up and make us proud in a client meeting.

Amplify

You’re someone who brings negative energy into an environment.

Flourish

You’re not interested in attending things that are essential to company culture.

Play

You don’t seek opportunities to grow and expand beyond your main role and responsibilities.

Thrive

You can’t handle a relentless schedule with a hardworking mindset.

You don’t appreciate fun and humourous moments.

Star

You don’t have a good sense of humour.

Amplify

You’re someone who’s overly sensitive or can easily be offended.

Flourish

You’re part of the ‘woke’ culture.

Energize

Going against social trends rubs you the wrong way, offends you, or hurts your feelings.

Ideas

You prefer a politically correct environment. Our humor can be triggering and may not align with woke sensibilities.

Liberty

You’re… “woke?”

Peace

You believe wokeism is the solution to the world’s problems, mistake virtue signalling for virtue living, think having an opinion is knowing the truth.
