The Gimbal: A Guide to X's Moonshot Factory Culture
The new X-er's guide to how we think and work at the factory
Here at the moonshot factory, we’re trying to build things most people can’t even imagine, and we’re deliberately choosing long, difficult roads in the hopes of having a huge, positive impact on the world. That makes this a high-ambiguity, high-change environment, with huge expectations of us as individuals and as project teams.
From the generations of Xers who’ve passed through here since 2010, we’ve learned some of the mindsets, values, and behaviors that help us get to the moon faster and weather the inevitable tough spots. We lean on good judgment, flexibility, and open communication more than hard and fast rules. And most importantly, we know that no one gets to the moon alone; we go together.
