By Tom Vladeck The short version of the story is that I’ve always had an interest in math — I was a math major at Pomona, got a master’s degree from the London School of Economics, and studied statistics at Wharton while getting my MBA. And during my MBA, I decided that I really wanted to “do” cutting-edge statistics full time, and that to do it the way I wanted to, I had no choice but to start a company and get clients on my own. https://handbook.gradientmetrics.com/gradient/team/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://handbook.gradientmetrics.com/gradient/team/ Put names to faces.

Are honest and integral to a fault: If we say something will be done, then it will be done. We conform our words to reality (honesty) and reality to our words (integrity). 2. Do more with less: We are frugal and look for ways to avoid spending time and money when it is not needed. 3. Think win-win: Success is not zero-sum. Our clients, partners, and vendors’ success is our success. https://handbook.gradientmetrics.com/gradient/Gradient-way-bible/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://handbook.gradientmetrics.com/gradient/Gradient-way-bible/ The purpose of this document is to lay out, to the best of our ability, the Gradient Way to working collaboratively. The Gradient Way is both a mindset and a specific orientation to how one approaches any task. We like to think that our success is due to everyone striving to adopt the Gradient Way, which—yes—sounds a tad cultish. But like any good cult will tell you, a shared paradigm is kinda essential to achieving shared objectives. https://handbook.gradientmetrics.com/gradient/communication/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://handbook.gradientmetrics.com/gradient/communication/ Types of communication Communication Hierarchy Working hours Managing Notifications Adjust Google Groups subscription Remove double notifications Notifying others in Slack Turn your mobile applications off after working hours Working remotely and communicating asynchronously have a ton of upsides. However, it can have many downsides too. And at Gradient we try to actively avoid these downsides in order to maintain a healthy work-life balance for everyone.
