We encourage everyone to go above and beyond, take initiative, speak up, and seek ways to continually improve ourselves and our work, because ultimately, we're all owners of Plinth's success.
### Hunger
We value a culture of hunger, driven by intellectual curiosity, entrepreneurial spirit, and ambition. We're constantly striving for excellence, innovation, and improvement, never settling for "good enough" and always seeking to push boundaries and think outside the box. This mindset allows us to stay future-focused and fascinated by data and its application in the real world.
