A day in the life

Our team takes big swings and works on hard cross organizational problems where the optimal success rate is not 100%. We ask people to grow their skills and stretch and do so in a supportive and fun environment. It's about empirically measured impact, advancement, and fun on our team. We work hard during work hours but we also don't encourage working at nights or on weekends except in very rare, high stakes cases. Burn out isn't a successful long run strategy. Because we invest in the long run success of our group it's important to have hobbies, relax and then come to work refreshed and excited. It makes for bigger impact, faster skill accrual and thus career advancement.

About the team

Our group is technically rigorous and encourages ongoing academic conference participation and publication. Our leaders are here for you and to enable you to be successful. We believe in being servant leaders focused on influence: good data work has little value if it doesn't translate into actionable insights that are rolled out and impact the real economy. We are communication centric since being able to explain what we do ensures high success rates and lowers administrative churn. Also: we laugh a lot. If it's not fun, what's the point?
