Just try it. And track it – We love to experiment and want zero fear of failure. Trial and error is how we learn, and learning is how we succeed.
Aim higher. Make it better – We’re always striving to be better. Be bold and do things better than you did them yesterday.
Own it. Figure it out – We don’t pass something off because it’s challenging, we stick with it to the end.
Trust in transparency – We have nothing to hide and we let our data speak for itself.
Spend wisely – Substance over show every time.
Grow fast and eat cupcakes – We balance our ambition with being humans and know the value of stepping back to recharge. And we celebrate, with cupcakes!

Drive diversity, ensure equity, and ingrain inclusion – DEI is in our DNA and prioritized in everything we do.

WE DON’T JUST FIND SATISFACTION WITH DIVERSITY, WE NEED EQUITY & INCLUSION TOO🛎
DEI is a hot topic in the tech community right now, and it’s about time! However, there is a lot of focus on Diversity and not enough on Equity and Inclusion. One difference the tech industry needs to see is removing unnecessary barriers to opportunity, but not just entry level opportunities, to leadership, to whose voice is heard, and to whose potential is recognized when it’s time for promotions.
In hiring and when it’s time for promotions, we often talk about the “ideal candidate” and needing the “right experience.” What “ideal” and “right” mean is often influenced by bias, and where potential in majority represented candidates is recognized, candidates from underrepresented groups need to have proven and extensive experience. This is just one example of how bias creates unnecessary barriers and blocks access to opportunities and growth.
Everyone from frontline employees, to leadership, needs to recognize that biases, like the one discussed above, in the workplace exist. We cannot move forward until it’s addressed, no matter how many “diverse” hires are made. Creating opportunities for underrepresented groups is one step in the right direction, but it needs to be matched with an environment where they are recognized for their contributions, feel appreciated, and not victim to shifting performance goal posts that hinder their ability to grow in their careers. Our DEI surveys, Affinity groups, Courageous Conversations, are some of the ways we make sure underrepresented voices are heard. Our People team is also open and accessible to all employees at all times to listen and support them through whatever they may need.
INTERVIEW PROCESS⏲
- Screen with Talent: This is with a recruiter who is mostly focused on assessing overall culture/technical alignment. It serves as a great opportunity for candidates to ask questions and learn more about the role/team/company.
- Conversation with Hiring Manager: This is typically 30-45 minutes via phone or zoom. This
is a great way for you to learn more about the role/ezCater and for the Hiring Manager to understand your background. For technical positions, like analytics or engineering, there are typically questions focused on your knowledge of a specific language or program. We are also evaluating each individual’s ability and potential to learn a specific language/program and demonstrate a passion for working collaboratively.
- Extended Team/Panel Interviews: This is an opportunity to meet with team members and stakeholders you would work with regularly in the role. Each interviewer has their own focus area to assess your alignment for the position. Depending on the role, this round may include an exercise to assess for technical abilities.
