TEAM PERSPECTIVES
"Kontagent is really the perfect environment for a data scientist to have a meaningful impact in the direction of our company. The role requires a lot of critical thinking about where our customers want to go and what they want to get out of our product. Each day requires tackling a new set of challenges that is great for people seeking reward through hard work, persistence, and a little beer pong on the side.”
- Martin Colaco, PhD, Proservices Engineer
“I appreciate the culture and work environment everyone has worked hard to create and maintain in the office. No one takes themselves too seriously, but we’re serious thinkers. We deliberate just as much on cultural fit as we do on technical expertise, and I think that’s what makes us much more effective in what we do.”
- Dave Paola, Engineer
“As an engineering intern here I knew I wasn’t going to do menial work. The company moves fast and requires everyone to make a contribution on Day 1. That includes high expectations around tackling and resolving challenging problems. It feels great to have that kind of responsibility and the opportunity to see the results of my work in a live environment.”
- Andrew Mains, Software Engineering Intern
“This is my first job out of college. I am given the opportunity here to learn with a great deal of autonomy. I can’t say that’s the case for a lot of my friends who work in corporate jobs. The interview process is pretty thorough, and we’re data-driven in everything we do. But we want to ensure that everyone here is mentally flexible and curious enough to play many roles, celebrate shared wins and learn from failures quickly. That’s what makes working here such a great atmosphere for personal and professional growth.”
- Wanda Seto, Designer
