It's a fun way to learn about our peers and about something we may have never thought to learn more about! Anneliese Hernandez Lead Software Engineer I enjoy working at Dscout because of the people. It's rewarding to work with people who go out of their way to help you solve a problem, teach you something new, or, most importantly, help you decide what to eat out of the boatload of kitchen snacks. Jess Mons Senior Director, Data Dscout is full of passionate and curious people, so projects that require true cross-company collaboration are my favorite. Recently, this included a research project to inform changes around how we capture gender-identity in the participant profile of our app. This work involved almost every department, so it felt like a true team effort. Michael Winnick CEO and Founder Dscout takes innovation into the way we operate. We're transparent with information and challenges. We create goals top-down and bottom-up, giving direction on where to focus and how to succeed. We value metrics, but we aren't beholden to them. We want you to brainstorm ideas, debate strategy and, more than anything, get inspired by our customers. Gardo Roman Senior Software Engineer Dscout's biggest perk is its people (but the other perks are amazing). I'm surrounded by people who are insanely smart and incredibly kind. I have grown so much professionally due to the people and culture here. I can't imagine being anywhere else. Michelle Huang Director, Legal I collaborate with a lot of other teams at Dscout due to the nature of my role.
