Our Values

These are the fundamental beliefs that underpin our product, communication, design, support, and more. These principles guide our decision-making and define who we are as a company.

Iterative: We believe in agility and continuous refinement based on user feedback. We aim to think deep, think big, but start small.
Innovative: Our product targets relatively mature data teams and always evolves to fit their needs. We're highly attuned to customer feedback and the market landscape, and willing to innovate for continuous relevance.
Thoughtful: At our core, we care deeply about the people who use our products. Our product is developed with extra attention to detail, thoughtful considerations, and delightful touches to elevate the user experience.
Trustworthy & reliable: We earn our users' trust through diligence, transparency, and a genuine commitment to their best interests. Our DataOps principles deliver reliable data outcomes, while our responsive support team is always available to assist.
Warm: We are a people-first company. We strive for enjoyable, humanized and personalized experiences, and show care for the people who use our product.

Product Culture

Autonomous but aligned: we adapt and personalize the Spotify Squad Model. Our team is split into Squads, with 4-7 members consisting of PM, Product Design, and engineers working autonomously together in each squad.
A transparent culture across the company — everyone knows what's going on and has access to any information they need to make informed decisions.
A strong writing (doc-first) culture. Documents create transparency and clarity of thought — almost everything at Holistics is communicated through written documents.
Customer-informed, not customer-driven. We observe and listen carefully to our customers, but don't try to build everything they ask for.
Data-informed, not data-driven. Data is used to inform our decisions and strengthen our intuition rather than to be relied on blindly.
A problem-solving culture. Everyone is strongly encouraged to have a rigorous understanding of a problem, separating problem space from solution space.
We deliver high-quality products with speed, finding the balance between speed and deep thinking for long-term product vision and architecture.
We value experimentation and encourage everyone to be a builder, including participating in hackathons and implementing their own ideas.
Continuous learning — a bi-weekly Design sharing where Product Designers share new topics or UX knowledge, alongside regular engineering and product sharings.

What We Focus On

Product Design

Our Product Designers work alongside Product Managers and Engineers on both loosely defined problem spaces and narrowly scoped, tactical deliverables. We design features that fit within the larger experience, test and iterate on our design solutions, and continuously raise the quality bar.

Brand Design

Our Graphic Designer assists Marketers, Product Designers and Product Managers in creating graphic assets that enhance our brand recognition and add delightful touches to the whole customer journey.

What We're Working On

Analytics-as-code

Helping data engineers and data analysts prepare and transform their organization's data with both UI and code, applying Git best practices.

Reporting features

Building self-service and reporting features to help users consume, visualize, and generate insights from raw data with ease.

Product Experience

Overseeing the full product experience and user journey, and driving strategic initiatives to enhance UX maturity and quality.

Product Growth

Increasing the value proposition of Holistics to our existing target market by removing barriers to access and increasing product distribution.

How We Work Together

Our Product Design team follows a hybrid model, where one Product Designer is integrated into a specific product area's squad. This lets designers be hands-on and deeply involved with what the rest of the product squad is doing.

To keep the whole design team connected and aligned, we have rituals where we sit together, review what everyone's working on, and share feedback and crits to help ensure design quality as a whole — or just chat and share UX best practices, design news, and memes.
