We believe in strong ideas, loosely held, and place a high premium on a growth mindset. We push each other to grow and expose each other to the latest in our respective fields. Whether it’s holding a PhD-level deep dive into understanding fairness and underlying bias in machine learning models or debating the merits of a Scandinavian design philosophy in our UI/UX, we prioritize sharing our findings across the team and helping each other be successful.
