- We break down complex problems and consistently seek to find the most straightforward solutions.
- We take quality seriously and factor it into everything we do.
- We are comfortable with change either in priorities goals and deadlines. We see this more as an opportunity than a hurdle. We are not satisfied with the status quo and push for change.
- We seek those looking to make a severe impact and are excited about working in a highgrowth startup.
- We ship fast continuously and iteratively learning each step.
- We are datainformed. And are ok with finding the data when its missing.
