The Covalent Way
We are here to serve
We aim to dazzle customers with our proactive and positive attitude, and the speed, convenience and quality of our service. We take genuine pride in serving our customers.
We have a partnership mindset and culture
This is a business of relationships - with our customers, with instrument partners, and with partner labs. We seek deals that work for both sides of the transaction; we target long-term, win-win outcomes.
We are never satisfied
Good enough isn’t. We fight and struggle every day to be better and get better in every function. We are obsessed with continuous improvement.
We will develop and offer the most compelling suite of products
We celebrate product innovation and improvement. We take time to think about how our reports and data presentations can be better, more compelling, clearer, and easier to understand. We seek to solve the “real” customer problem.
We will be better, faster, and cheaper
We creatively seek opportunities to automate, batch, parallel process, and run tools unattended. We use technology and operational excellence to be the low-cost and turnaround-time leader.
We are hungry for growth
We will find a way to win the business. We will be creative in pricing and deal making. We are all salespeople - everything we do touches the customer journey.
We are entrepreneurial
We are not afraid to try new approaches. We experiment, iterate, and view failure as another opportunity to learn and grow.
We are curious and adventurous
We love learning new things. We are eager to learn about customers - their problems and technologies - and about each other. We ask lots of questions and are good listeners.
We value excellent communication and dependability
We love clear thinking and disciplined execution. We don’t offer problems or excuses - we drive toward solutions.
We prize substance over form
We fight the pull toward bureaucracy. We implement systems and processes that empower the team to deliver outstanding products and services.
