What it takes to work here

We aim for a culture that is collaborative, supportive, and encourages learning and development. We have a number of principles that guide us:

We succeed because our clients do. We try to build long-term relationships with our clients and provide services that help them succeed.

We try to solve difficult problems thoughtfully.

People matter. This holds across a number of dimensions: the data we often work with is generated by people ultimately; Predictive Insights is a group of people, with their own individual characteristics and circumstances; and our clients are people too, with their own needs and foibles.

Good technical skills are important too, but we value people who can put these into practice, and who are willing to learn new skills too.
