Yes, and at Oxide we have taken this a step further, being explicit about the fact that values are in tension[0] -- and then even asking candidates to describe a time when our values came into tension for them and how they dealt with it.[1] Not to imply that any of this is pat or easy, but I think it's been helpful to explicit about that tension -- and it has also (broadly) prevented us from weaponizing values (another common failure mode).
