COMPETENCIES:
Cultural
Fulfillment at work most often occurs when personal values align with those of the organization. Protomet associates it’s collective character with the following traits:
- Second Mile
- The first mile is mandatory. The second mile is voluntary; we do it for our own growth.
- Don’t Touch the Marshmallow
- This references the famous psychological experiment studying the strength to reject short term gratification in favor of a larger reward later. We err towards celebrating later, not sooner.
- Abundance Mindset
- Life is not a zero-sum game. We strive to reject scarcity mindsets and instead “grow the pie”. Example – is a new “A” player on your team an asset or a threat?
- Skills Beat Credentials
- What you can do is all that matters. Credentials alone won’t get you anywhere at Protomet.
- That’s Hard…Good
- Growth happens the most in the face of challenges. We recognize it is difficult to grin as you are being tested, but it’s possible, and we’re getting better at it.
Functional
- World-class attention to detail
- Practical intelligence, curiosity and an aptitude for learning
- Drive to get better every day
