Vidalytics’ Values 
(Yes, We’re Actually Serious About These) 😇

Data  – As much as we’re able to, we use data to answer questions, give bonuses and promotions. Not based on politics and titles. But data or not, when a decision is made, it is time to get on board. 

Scrappy Entrepreneurial Mindset  – We’re a startup. You get a lot of freedom, responsibility and autonomy, but then at times we need to do whatever it takes to make sure we survive. If you want an easy job, go work at the government. 

Radical Candor - The concept is rooted in two main principles: caring personally and challenging directly. This way we’re able to achieve a balance that promotes growth, trust, and constructive feedback. You can call out anyone from the CEO on down. Just be sure to attack issues and not people. ;) 

High Performance – This is a place to be your best. To work with people who are putting out.   grow, learn and see what you’re made of. For hyper learning. 

Accountability – Do what you say. And own what you’ve done. Mistakes happen. But the worst thing that can happen is when someone doesn’t own and learn from them. 

Growth – We are ALL constantly learning and growing. Otherwise we can’t scale with the business and for our teammates. We spend too much time at work to not be getting better. This is a place to learn, get better, and dare we say self actualize. 


Cheers,
👩🏻
