**What is our culture like & who is a good fit?**

Culture-fit is our #1 factor when hiring

We have a genuine will-to-win. No work is beneath us if it moves us towards our goals.

We utilize creativity to do more with less - and quickly.

We use data to make decisions. The only “arguments” we get in are about how we should be collecting data, and how we should be analyzing it.

We love learning - every problem is an opportunity to grow.

If you want a stress-free corporate 9-5 job, this isn't it.

**If you want to**:
Shape a fast-growing company - and scale it to $100mm+.

Drive results with a group of passionate, smart & hardworking fun people.

Work in an environment _without _politics, busy work, or corporate chicanery.

Then you have come to the right place.
