‘Tis is the season to be jolly, and at GoodData, there is holiday cheer everywhere! From Brno to Boston, Portland to Prague to San Francisco, we are making the season bright… Reflecting on the year our CEO Roman Stanek said “2015 was about staying true to the GoodData DNA and our culture that is defined by the amazing spirit of our teams ” He also shared his favorite quote from Ben Horowitz’s book The Hard Things about Hard Things “Building a company is not easy ...While we are far from perfect we are jolly about a few things and wanted to take a moment to thank our incredible GoodFamily, and look back on what made 2015 a year to remember!”

An Open GoodVoices
Program
What works and what can we do better?The ability to talk about problems— both positives and negatives—is key, and this goes in all directions both ways (top-down, bottom-up, and across functions).
We set up our GoodVoices program to ensure Leadership hears feedback in a candid way. Special thanks to our GoodVoice Champions who partnered with Leaders + PeopleOps to make this possible and led to measurable improvements in our talent metrics and focus on key business outcomes!

We were thrilled to make several promotions to leadership (as well as several key hires) this year, strengthening our existing leadership bench. Our top six key hires this year include CMO, RVP Sales, VP Services, Chief Security & Information Officer, VP Product, and a VP UX.

Pack our Leadership Punch
7x 24 Creativity & Innovation
The favorite event of our all-star engineering teams was, hands down, our Hackathons! The last one included 26 competing teams across locations. That meant not only many interesting projects, but also many cups of coffee consumed, and many hours of overtime team-building!
Continuous Development &
Feedback That Keep Us Agile
Change is the only constant at GoodData! Focus on real time feedback and ongoing development planning vs. multiple cycles of rankings or ratings is what keeps us agile. Thank you to all the managers and team leads that made this possible!
This year we also came together in giving back to our community in 9+ events in every location.

Intentional Collaboration
Keeping a company connected over multiple locations, continents and time zones is not easy, especially when we move at the speed of light. So we don’t leave communication to serendipity, and have regularly scheduled weekly town halls, All-Hands, and offsite meetings. Our monthly newsletter is where employees contribute stories, pictures, and memorable moments with each other.
Team Events that are Heartfelt
Lastly, our holiday parties and annual offsites are events where we get together, have fun, and connect with each other in a truly memorable heartfelt way. So, if impromptu speeches accompanied with tears of joy, flash mobs, et. al aren’t your thing we will understand ….
Year round celebration of
successes
We fight hard to win and make sure we take the time to recognize and celebrate our successes and have fun while we’re at it!
