Core values
Ten values. Written by the people who live them.
Fairway's core values were crafted with employee input — a reflection of what the team itself said mattered. They're voted on annually, they decide internal awards, and value #3 is not a typo.

2Foster growth and knowledge
3Have funThis one has an arcade
4Create an amazing experience
5Speed of response
6Seek wise counsel
7Respect, listen and stay balanced
8Committed to serve
9Consistent, honest communication
10Family focused
About value #3
We were told to have fun. We complied.
Companies put "integrity" on posters. Fairway put have fun in its official value system — so we built a Galaga-style arcade game into the recruiting site. High score bragging rights available at every Virtual Fairway Day.
