The scientific method is at the core of everything we do. That’s because, after more than 700 years, it’s still the best process for determining truth. And our customers trust us and our technology because truth is the new anchor of good business.
We call it out with candor, empathy, and the license to be disproven – even when it’s awkward. We’d rather be fired than lie or obfuscate.
Scientific insight on its own is great. Usefulness on its own is easily replaceable. Impactful data science is the combination of both. Consider this our golden rule: Customer Impact = Unique Insight * Usefulness.
We’re solving some of the toughest and most fascinating problems facing organizations today. We prize the best ideas, no matter where they come from. And we expect and help each other to hit the ground running from Day One.
We believe that good data science rests on three disciplines: creative problem-solving, excellent engineering and cutting-edge methods. Leave one out and it all falls down. Put them together and it’s the basis for all good work.
No explanation required.
Walk into one of our offices, and you’ll notice there aren’t any… offices. And there never will be. That’s because every component of our company is designed to produce the most excellent work. That requires collaboration and minimal hierarchy.
Prepare the facts, form a point of view, invite skepticism, execute, measure… and get better over time. It’s the proven basis of excellence — from the work we do to the people we hire.
Data science is powerful: it can be used for good or bad. We’ll often pursue powerful social good work at a loss, and we’ll responsibly decline work that does wrong, even if it’s lucrative.
We embrace the full person, but the only thing that really matters at this company is the gray matter between your ears. Come as you are, as weird as that may be.
