Company Description

WE EMBRACE A TALENT-LED CULTURE

Our work is driven by our team's desire to be pioneers.

In 2009, we created Robots & Pencils with the then-contrarian view that mobile would be more transformative than the Internet. Turns out we were right.

Today, our thinking is rooted in the belief that, in the age of unprecedented technology acceleration, maintaining a competitive advantage requires new strategies and a focus on innovation.

Our approach has been to create a company designed to follow the talent, allowing us to amass an unfair share of hyper-skilled people who call Robots & Pencils home. A team of people who not only develop innovative solutions to transform businesses, but also create products that have been previously inconceivable.

Our Core Values:

• Strong Work Ethic
• Top Drawer
• Always Learning
• Heart
• Discipline
• Efficacy
• Together

• A dynamic, fast-paced environment where we're constantly #alwayslearning.
• And lastly, a team that cares about you and wants to drive the talent experience. How do we do this? Over the years we've hosted comedian shows, had holiday parties, happy hours, brunches with the CEO, surprise coffee runs for the team, health & wellness events and prizes, trivia nights, surprise dinners for R&P team members and their family and so much more (And yes, we've prioritized a way to do these things in a virtual setting and not just in person - thank you Zoom)
