What You’ll Love About Us (Benefits and Perks) 😉
Great company culture. You’re going to be part of a team, not a cog in a machine. 
We’re here to enable you. It’s your work and your career. Our management team is here to help you become who you want to be, not to micromanage you.
We value your ideas. At Vidalytics, our doors are always open. Need help? Come on in. Have a vision for the future of the company? We’d love to hear it. 
Rest and relaxation. Employees enjoy a generous PTO package.
Professional development. Want to continue your education? Vidalytics pays for classes, conferences, and more.
You’re more than an employee, you’re a person. Every co-worker you’ll meet is committed to treating you with respect and kindness. You won’t hear stuff like, “It’s just business.”

Vidalytics’ Values 
(Yes, We’re Actually Serious About These) 😇

1 - Meritocracy – we’re building a Meritocracy, where the best ideas win -- not based on who has the bigger title. We use data to answer questions, we test ideas, we ask what’s right not who’s right. 

2 - Direct & honest communication (transparency) – to be successful we have to face the truth – both about ourselves, work, our strengths and weaknesses. This starts with each other, which means we give direct feedback. So feel free to argue your points. When you bring this attitude to your profession, it becomes a place of personal development and self-actualization. 

3 - Ownership & Accountability – the best people are the ones who OWN their position, tasks and even things that go beyond their ‘day to day responsibilities’. They never say, “that’s not my job.” Instead, they proactively spot problems and solve them. Afterall, we’re a startup, we need to “figure it out.”

4 - High Performance – We’re building a team of high performance. If someone wants an easy job that doesn’t challenge them, they shouldn’t work here. This is a place to grow, learn and see what you’re made of. For hyper learning. 

5 - No assholes – Doesn’t matter how good someone is at their job, if they are going to make life suck for other people on the team, then they aren’t welcomed at Vidalytics.
