An Insider's view of Sonar

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

We believe that collective intelligence is the key to success which is why we work in squads and form circles to solve a problem or launch a new idea/initiative. This approach works wonders because everyone brings their unique experience, skills, and creativity to the table. When we break away from silos and work collaboratively, everyone wins!

Kirti Joshi

Product Marketing Manager

How does the company support your career growth?

Feedback is a gift. We pride ourselves on a company-wide growth mindset and striving for excellence. There is constant feedback given and received on a daily basis, always with the goal to help improve us as individuals, and thus leading to stronger collective intelligence as a team. Due to this philosophy my career growth was made possible.

Max Steinberger

Manager - Global Enterprise Sales

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

We believe that all SonarSourcers can have an impact on the company (more than just delivery). Thinking big, starting with a WHY, collaborating across our teams, having the right to fail, allowing our diversity to be our strength. With engagement like this, people feel free to tackle real problems and be creative in solutions.

Patrick McKinney

VP of Sales

What are some social events your company does?

From happy hours to global events - we keep our culture alive through time spent together. We travel annually to Switzerland for ‘Grand Raout’. SonarSourcers are sent offsite for a few days to a mysterious destination in Europe. It’s a time to celebrate our achievements, to exercise team building, and to declare our objectives for the year ahead!
