Build the interpersonal skills that multiply your technical expertise

We've been too focused on perfect marks instead of resilience... We're looking at whether applicants have the aptitude to learn new stuff.

We value people who have collaboration, creativity, curiosity and expertise. People who won't accept the status quo, who are never satisfied with the way things are.

We need people who can balance empirical thinking with scrappiness and judgment—the ability to test rapidly, learn from failures, and adapt strategy in real time.
