Hotjar Core Values

At Hotjar we're obsessed with communicating with our users as well as within our team. We hate bureaucracy and slow-moving organizations – but we're suckers for well-defined processes. We love lean, iterative improvements and our success is measured by the value we create for our users. Here are the core values we live by:

  • We deliver on commitments by focusing on speed and ruthless prioritization without compromising on quality.
  • We are not afraid of making mistakes and view decisions as reversible.
  • We care about the company's reputation and results which drives us to act with a sense of urgency.



3. Work with respect
