DS-IQ Response
11yWe were pleased to read that you agree DS-IQ is comprised of exceptionally nice people. We do hire for that trait and work hard to foster the kind of team work that is mutually supportive. This is likely one of the reasons our average tenure is longer than typical for the Seattle tech community. Our 1st hired engineers are still here after ten years and making an outstanding contribution in leadership roles.
As an ex-employee, however, you don’t appear to be current with DS-IQ’s business. Our largest customer – the largest retailer in the world – gets a lot of public attention, which sometimes steals the thunder of our other customers. We are actively engaged with other customers in the retail and financial services sectors and we are excited about additional growth on the horizon for 2015.
Since retail is a highly competitive industry, and because DS-IQ’s work often involves confidential data and first-of-their-kind marketing initiatives, we are definitely conservative about sharing information publically. We expect this approach will continue to be a hallmark of DS-IQ’s business relationship with our customers.
