You feel safe to venture out with different, unique ideas, and something that might push the science in a completely different direction.
Our leaders are extremely helpful with everything, and open-minded to learn about what I can bring to the table, what I know.
When you’re working on a cutting-edge, paradigm-shifting technology like ours…it’s hard for your day-to-day to not feel like an epic adventure.
It is easy to be busy. It is far better to be busy towards something that progresses ourselves, and meaningfully changes lives.
It’s a culture of welcoming and support. The conversations are more personal, more approachable, more meaningful.
Tune has a warm, open, welcoming culture…but it’s also about pushing boundaries, thinking bigger, changing the landscape.
