Want a job that will help you broaden your horizons, even if those horizons aren't completely aligned with what you're working on? That's the norm at Pareto, said Meredith Keesling. In fact, the team has a recurring event around knowledge-sharing called "Snacks and Facts," where employees take turns presenting something they're interested in, from coding languages to robotics. Because employees are encouraged to attend conferences and industry events, Snacks and Facts provides a space for techies to introduce new best practices, methodologies and technologies the team could use in the future.

“Everything we do is centered around data,” said Marketing Manager Christian Guajardo. Pareto’s data collection and analysis is the core of their business — and it’s how they help their clients. But the market and customer needs are always evolving, so the company is changing up its strategy, tools and processes. Currently, Pareto is on the edge of launching a new website that makes accessing that data even easier. The website is a collaborative effort between many different teams, including product, advisory, sales and leadership, along with Guajardo’s marketing team.
