Company Operating Principles:
GridStor’s Operating Principles represent who we are, how we work, and what we believe.
We Collaborate. We believe trust is given, not earned. We honor each other’s zone of genius and seek to challenge ideas, not each other. We listen to each other’s points of view and work hard to find the better solution. We are one team.
