Arity Company Culture & Values

What values do you ideally want to see in an employer?

For me, there are a bunch: autonomy, flexibility, impact, continuous learning and working with smart, kind, inclusive people.

Personally, I thrive when I have the freedom to make decisions and see projects through to completion. Flexibility, especially the ability to work remotely, has been an unexpected gem for me and my work-life balance. It’s enabled me to spend time outside of work with my family and do things that are important to me — like swimming.

I value seeing my work make a real-world difference. Knowing that what I do contributes to something meaningful keeps me motivated and engaged, along with constantly learning new things. We get to work on a lot of interesting things and I like being to learn from my colleagues. Inevitably there are slower moments and work that is more tedious, like in any job, but that’s not what keeps me at Arity — it’s our culture of smart, kind and inclusive people.

How does your employer show a commitment to some (or all) of these?

Arity’s remote-first culture gives me the flexibility I need to take care of myself and have work-life balance.

There’s also a big emphasis on growth and continuous progress. I’ve been lucky to attend conferences, take classes and have amazing mentors. Additionally, we hold monthly learn days where anyone can give a presentation about something that is meaningful to them — whether it’s project related, something learned at a conference, or even sharing tips from a recent trip to Japan.

Arity cultivates a collaborative and inclusive atmosphere. We work across multiple time zones and Arity makes us all feel like one big team. Every quarter we have global calls to celebrate wins and big milestones. We have an “Applause” system that enables us to recognize each other, which reinforces teamwork and a positive environment. I feel lucky to work in a place where you can get in front of everyone, from the senior leader to the entry-level analyst, to ask questions or share ideas. We do this once a week in our analytics department internal review board. I really value that safe space to share perspectives, make innovations and improve the products we are developing.

How do these values shape your feelings about your employer? What about your ability to make an impact in your role?

Honestly, these values make me proud to work at Arity. It is truly such a lovely place to work - not just because the projects are interesting, but because the culture keeps me engaged. I also think the tone is set at the top and leadership reinforces these values, which builds trust and belonging.

On a personal level, these values empower me to “grow where I am planted,” which has always been a personal saying I try to apply in my life. I can be a leader in my role, even though I’m not the “lead.” I bring my expertise to the table and this has led my individual contributions — analyses and models — to be deployed into applications that reach millions of people. I certainly could not have this impact without our incredible team of people that all bring their own valuable, unique expertise together to collaborate on our products. This autonomy and impact reminds me that what I do matters and that’s incredibly rewarding.
