美捷步的企业文化
1. Deliver Wow Through Service
WOW is such a short, simple word, but it really encompasses a lot of things. To WOW, you must differentiate yourself, which means doing something a little unconventional and innovative. You must do something that's above and beyond what's expected. And whatever you do must have an emotional impact on the receiver. We are not an average company, our service is not average, and we don't want our people to be average. We expect every employee to deliver WOW.
1. 用服务来感动客户
哇这个字非常简短,但是它真的包含很多内涵。要想让别人惊叹,你必须做到与众不同,也是就是说你要做一些非常规的革新性的事情;你必须做一些超出别人预期的事情;无论你做什么都必须对对方有情绪感染力。我们不是一家普通企业,我们的服务并不普通,我们也不希望我们的员工普通,我们希望每一个雇员都能提供令人惊叹的服务。
2. Embrace and Drive Change
For some people, especially those who come from bigger companies, the constant change can be somewhat unsettling at first. If you are not prepared to deal with constant change, then you probably are not a good fit for the company.
2. 拥抱并推动变化
对一些人而言,尤其是对那些从大公司过来的员工而言,在刚入职时面对持续不断的变化多少有点不安。如果你没有准备好应对持续的变化,那么你可能并不适合来我们公司工作。
3. Create Fun and A Little Weirdness
One of the things that makes Zappos different from a lot of other companies is that we value being fun and being a little weird. We don't want to become one of those big companies that feels corporate and boring. We want to be able to laugh at ourselves. We look for both fun and humor in our daily work.
3. 创造有趣且有点怪异的东西
使得美捷步公司与很多其他公司不同的一点是,我们重视有趣及有点怪异的价值。我们不想成为一家无趣的大公司。我们想要成为一家能够持续快乐的企业,我们在平时工作中寻求乐趣与幽默。
4. Be Adventurous, Creative, and Open-Minded

5. Pursue Growth and Learning
It's important to constantly challenge and stretch yourself and not be stuck in a job where you don't feel like you are growing or learning.
5.追求成长与学习
持续不断的挑战自己、拓展自己很重要,如果你不觉得一项工作能让你学习并成长进步,那么就不要从事那项工作。
6. Build Open and Honest Relationships With Communication
We value strong relationships in all areas: with managers, direct reports, customers (internal and external), vendors, business partners, team members, and co-workers.
6. 以沟通的方式来建立开放的、诚实的关系
我们重视与各方面的良好关系:包括管理人员、直接下属、顾客(内部与外部的)、供应商、商业合作伙伴、团队成员以及同事。

While we may be casual in our interactions with each other, we are focused and serious about the operations of our business. We believe in working hard and putting in the extra effort to get things done.
8. 花更少的钱,做更多的事
尽管我们在彼此的日常交流上可能比较随意,但我们依然专注于我们的事业。我们相信通过我们的努力工作与额外付出可以让事情圆满完成。
9. Be Passionate and Determined
Passion Is The Fuel That Drives Us And Our Company Forward.
