Welcome to Cantilever!

We are so grateful that you have chosen to work with us. We’ve asked you to join because you are smart and talented, and you vibe with our Mission, Vision, and Values. We know you have many options for your working life, and we are honored that you are here. Let's make the web a better place, one website at a time! 🌍💻

This document is your tour guide through the basics of working here. I know that most corporate training stuff is just something you have to skim, because it is outdated or not really important. We are different. We constantly work on our handbook and this guide to make sure that it only contains valuable and critical information. Everyone you work with at Cantilever will be assuming that you know the stuff in this guide, so please read everything carefully.

Please start by watching the video below, from our amazing team member @Enric Clemente.

If you ever have any questions, please ask your manager. And if you need any more help, my door is always open to every member of our team.

Warmly,

– @Ty Fujimura, Founder & CEO

• You got to this guide via of a link within an Asana task. The Asana project where that task lives is your main source of truth for all the steps you need to take during onboarding.
• Your onboarding time is considered real work time, and you should log it in Harvest under Company & Culture → Continuous Improvement. Going through this guide should take between 3 and 5 hours depending on your role.
• We have two staff types: Contributor and Core Team. You should already know which one you are. If you don’t, please ask @Cantilever Operations.
• If you are a Contributor, you have a “Primary Contact”. If you are a Core Team member you have a “Manager”. You should have already been introduced to this person; if not please ask the @Cantilever Operations team. Your Manager/Primary Contact is the one to reach out to first with any questions you may have during onboarding and after.
