At Tenderly, we set a high bar - not just for what we build, but for how we show up and work together. High performance isn’t about working nonstop, it’s about focus, ownership, and raising the standard every day. We believe in giving people the trust, context, and freedom to do their best work, and we expect them to bring curiosity, drive, and accountability in return.
On this page, you’ll get a closer look at what high performance means to us, how we support it, and what it looks like in practice at Tenderly.
For us, high performance means moving the needle on one or more key business outcomes.
It’s not about being busy or checking boxes - it’s about having a clear impact. That could mean launching something that drives revenue, improving a system that boosts efficiency, or solving a problem that unlocks growth for others.
High performers at Tenderly focus on what matters most, use their time intentionally, and consistently push for outcomes - not just output. They’re not only great at what they do, but they also understand how their work connects to the bigger picture.
We believe that ongoing feedback drives growth, not rigid performance ratings or once-a-year reviews. High performance doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s built through regular, honest conversations that help us reflect, course-correct, and level up.

These discussions are designed to help team members see the bigger picture, understand how their work fits into the team’s success, and fine-tune their focus for continuous growth.
