We work in small groups with minimal meetings and plenty of focus time.

We operate under a unique sustainable business model: We have over 50% of our engineering dedicated to creating free and open source software. We are profitable and we plan to be around decades from now. Posit is a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) and a Certified B Corporation which means our open-source mission is codified into our charter.
