Our founders, two of them Cuban immigrants, two of them women, have set the tone for our team: We are fueled by coladas and croquetas! Everyone is a co-creator of the culture in how they partner with their manager and the people who work alongside them. We've listened carefully and have worked to implement the priorities they told us were most important. Our values are to be humble, hungry, and smart. Empathy and the assumption of positive intent are also positive parts of our culture.

Our employees come from all walks of life. They're of different ages, genders, and races, but all have a mindset of caring--about their families, about their company, about their customers, and about one another.

We hire for culture fit, and want our employees to embody our values. We care personally for one another; we are playmakers. We take pride in what we do and are obsessed with learning. Our culture also drives how we work together. When we say we are radically open minded, it means that we value ideas over titles and that the best ideas can come from anywhere or anyone. At every all-staff meeting, we have an open forum for employees to present their ideas, helping us continually advance the organization.

We strive to attract and retain top scientific talent with our unique corporate structure and vibrant culture that stimulates innovation. Instead of offering personal bonuses, we involve employees in a common profit-sharing program, so employees are aligned on our goals. Every week employees are updated in full transparency, including company financials, to ensure we all are working toward a common goal. Before hiring, we ensure all candidates have the required technical skill and the willingness to participate in our culture of professional development, teamwork, and effectively addressing conflict.

We are a fully remote team that emphasizes a culture of connection and constant communication to help co-workers avoid burnout and provide feedback on how we can improve morale and culture. We supplement daily Slack communication and weekly team meetings with “Friend Fridays,” a weekly nonwork social environment in which team members select topics for discussion, prompting lively conversation and sharing of personal stories. Our quarterly company update meetings always end with trivia and quiz competitions, incentivized with gift cards as prizes.
