Emphasizing Connection

Maintaining a culture without the office

Since going remote, new employees have leaned into Tinder’s buddy system for advice on what Slack channels to join or employee resource groups to check out. Boss, a founding member of [email protected], said his peers have become increasingly creative in finding new ways to connect with one another, including a “kudos” board for peer recognition.

The goal is to have our culture continuously evolve with the size of the organization, new team members and outside circumstances.

Encouraging Growth

Uncovering new learning opportunities

In June 2017, Zegelstein joined Tinder as an intern on the iOS team, where she quickly identified a passion for back-end development. Now, she puts her talents to use on the “Z Team” with features like Festival Mode and video event Swipe Night. While she’s used her annual learning and development stipend toward conference fees and courses, Zegelstein attributes her growth to her colleagues’ and mentors’ support.

My manager has known exactly when to take a step back so I could take a step forward.

Inclusive Products

Making inclusivity a cornerstone of the product

As a product and design lead, Rodriguez looks for diverse candidates to bring unique perspectives to the mix. When her team stumbles across a problem they don’t feel they have the relevant experience to tackle, they reach out to their Match Group Advisory Council, which includes partners like RAINN, Human Rights Campaign and #MeToo.

When working on new experiences, we try to consider the various high-level differences between our significant markets.
