What It's Like to Work at January

We have fun! We celebrate our wins and support each other's interests. This allows everyone to bring their true selves to work. Time off is required and supported through unlimited vacation. We believe in work/life balance and don’t glorify burnout.

There's lots of things I love about January, but to me the most important are the mission and especially the people. My colleagues are some of the most thoughtful, kind, talented and supportive people I know. I feel lucky every day to work with them.

January’s culture prioritizes a healthy work-life balance allowing me to remain productive as a new mother. With a leadership team that leads by example and team members that mutually respect each other’s personal lives, I feel comfortable taking time off as needed to prioritize my mental and physical well-being or personal obligations.

One project I'm working on that is super exciting is implementing a machine learning model to improve debt payoff outcomes. Not only is this a technically interesting and challenging project, but it's likely to impact revenue. We're hoping that through insights gained, we can apply similar strategies to other predictive models in the future.

The team’s ideas have shaped the core of our business’s culture, vision, strategy, and more. Frequent feedback – a cultural value – underpins how we operate. Structured and unstructured feedback mechanisms, including one-on-ones, bi-monthly reflections, agility-improving surveys, and post-mortem conversations facilitate regular idea sharing.

A bunch of folks on the team are into creative activities outside of work (e.g. painting, archery, candle making, painting rocks, etc.). We have a painting and photos the team made hanging up in the office!
