Core Values
BlastX Core Values are the foundation on which our Great Place to Work culture is built. They define and guide every aspect of how we work with each other and with our clients.
The BlastX Top 10
Check out the 10 core values that guide us.
Passion
Be Passionate (Get in the Flow).
We believe wholeheartedly in loving what we do. Passion is our internal motivator that gets us excited about the work we do, delivering results, evolving, and making our mark. This passion drives synergy and achievement and success across our team.
Passion as the catalyst of what you do motivates, drives, and eventually leads to better results. These passions can be whatever you decide them to be — helping others, setting and achieving goals, or simply doing the right thing.

Individuality
Be yourself and support individuality (show our personality).
We respect and celebrate the uniqueness of each teammate at Blast. Being yourself and showing our personalities enriches our culture and our jobs. By nurturing individuality, we’re much stronger together than any one of us on our own.
I love that I can be the same person at Blast and away from Blast. I don’t have to put on a mask (figuratively) when I come to work. I can just be me, and no one at Blast makes me feel like I shouldn’t be who I am.

Fun
Foster a fun, positive family spirit.
We foster a fun, positive, family spirit that creates lasting relationships and memories. We enjoy the people we work with and the happy work environment making it easier to pursue our passion and achieve meaningful outcomes.
Amy Poehler put it best, ‘No one looks stupid when they’re having fun!’ When I’m having fun with my teammates at Blast, they allow me to be myself — my truly authentic, loud, playful, crazy, quirky self!

Grow Wide, Grow Tall
Learn and thrive.
No matter where we’re at in our careers, we want to keep growing. We have the opportunity to constantly learn, hone our core area of expertise (depth) and develop a range of new competencies (breadth) to help us thrive.
I think Blast is the perfect place to grow wide and grow tall. I’ve never worked at a company before that was so honestly, wholeheartedly committed to helping every employee learn and thrive the way Blast does.

Plant Seeds & Nurture Success
Share and help/motivate others.
Teamwork is our cornerstone. We help others be their best through knowledge sharing, mentoring, leadership, or simply lending a hand. We find ways to support one another, help each other grow, and motivate us all to succeed.
Blast is a very unique company. It’s filled with such talented individuals who are so full of knowledge and curiosity. I’m truly grateful to be a part of such a wealth of knowledge.

Bring the BAM!
Deliver wow by going beyond.
Paying homage to our roots, Blast is known for going above and beyond — what we call the “BAM!” Whether delivering for clients, helping teammates, or contributing to communities, we’re intent on wowing others. In other words, we always bring it.
Always render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.

Direct Communication
Use direct communication (authentic and accessible).
Transparency, radical candor and being genuine with our communication is how we hold each other accountable. Every teammate is responsible for what, when and how they communicate, being thoughtful, productive, clear and caring in our conversations. This is equally important internally and externally.
In the words of Zig Ziglar, ‘You never know when a moment and a few sincere words can have an impact on a life.

Embrace Change
Embrace and drive change with small, fast steps.
Our teammates have the courage and resourcefulness to not just embrace change, but to drive it. Taking small, fast steps, we make our company, our work, and each other better every day. After all, EVOLVE is our mantra.
Embracing change is about taking the events of life and finding the lessons you can learn, then applying those lessons to build a better future.

Test Your Limits
Test your limits (be adventurous).
We believe the only way to find out what’s possible — and to grow — is to venture beyond boundaries. We’re not afraid of adventure, failure, or trying new things, because that’s how we learn, innovate, and become stronger.
This core value is deeply powerful to me. It’s a reminder to live fully!

Dream Big, Kick Ass, Yet Be Humble
Kendrick Lamar would be proud.
At Blast, we think ahead, and every teammate has the opportunity to influence our evolution with their bold ideas and actions. We believe in ourselves and know that, working together, we’ll succeed for a greater good.
This embodies the core of what I love about coding implementations. We do some truly incredible work across our team, and our knowledge is limitless, so dreaming big is always how I approach problem solving for clients.
