Data Lake Core Values

Core Values

Meet the real Data Lake

We care deeply

Ultimately, Data Lake’s mission is enabling better, more equitable and data-driven care for patients, all around the world. We truly do care about making lasting impact and it transpires through our dedication, sense of ownership, initiative and conscientiousness. We know caring is hard – that is why it is important for us to take care of one another. We’ve got each other’s back, no matter what.

We've got that spark in our eye

Data Lake is a place for the Challengers, for the Daring, for the Dedicated. It’s for people who are proud of what they do and who they are. It’s for people with integrity and passion. We like strong characters, colorful personalities and interesting life stories. We value taking initiative, solving problems creatively and setting the pace by every team member.

No time for bullshit

We don’t waste time to play politics or to talk behind each other’s back. We like to solve problems right here and right now, before they escalate. We communicate openly, we give feedback immediately, always with positive intentions. We know that time is our most valuable resource and we allocate it with the same prudence as money.

We're humans

We see a human being in every one of us. We respect our time for family, regeneration and personal growth. We know that everyone can have worst moments and we don’t judge one another by single moments of weakness.

Get it done

At Data Lake we value great work ethics immensly. We’re not afraid of getting our hands dirty and taking on challenges outside of our direct scope of responsibility. We admire Doers who are focused, self-managed and self-driven, who can reasonably prioritize their job, manage expectations and deliver value on time. We judge the team by objective performance metrics and results, not personal relations nor gender or geographical bias.

Be brave and humble

In Data Lake there’s no space for pride and ego. We think that no job brings disgrace. We believe in cross-functional competences of teams and close collaboration of IT and business. We value taking action and courage not only in formulating but also executing ideas. We believe in testing by battle, we are not afraid to try and fail.

Attitude and grit

Top performers in startups are very much like elite athletes – they think about themselves as born winners and they have the grit, determination and endurance to prove it. These people are not afraid of putting efforts and hours to hack the game. It’s the can-do attitude and determination that makes all the difference.

Be fair

Data Lake is building the foundation for fair and transparent sharing of medical data, addressing the interests and needs of all the stakeholders. Fairness is at the core of our business philosophy and it informs all the decisions we are making – regarding business partners, clients and the team. It is our pledge to play a fair game, even if it comes at an additional cost and effort. Being fair does not always equal pleasing people; we are dedicated to do the right thing even if it is hard.

We make objective decisions based on data

We always keep our word

In Data Lake what you see is what you get. Our words reflect in reality and foreseeable future. We don’t make promises lightly; if we promise something we always keep our word at all costs. We recognize, that accurate description of reality in words is a basic premise of feeling of security and stability. There is no better way of building trust than describing future with words, that later take shape in reality.
