Here at Blue Sky Analytics, we are constantly looking for new talent to come help us battle climate change. It involves not just a zeal for saving the planet but also a sort of double-jointed intelligence about how the world works. Its no run of the mill nine-to-five job, nor are the people who work here. So if you are wondering what it takes to be a part of the Blue Sky family, here’s a primer.
Missionaries Not Mercenaries
We pride ourselves on having a modern workplace built upon flexibility and dynamism. We don’t expect you to come to work to warm your chair just because you need to “fulfill a certain number of hours”. That’s a waste of your time and ours.

How to Prepare for the Interview
Firstly relax. This is an informal interview where we just want to get to know you. We care about your personality as much as your skills and would expect to know you as a person (maybe make friends with you). The best way to start is by reading upon us. Second, prepare yourself with a few questions on your education, interests, extracurricular activities, etc. Here are a few examples of questions you might get asked:
-
What’s your favorite tv show and why?
-
Do you like reading and if yes, what do you read?
-
What challenges do you see yourself face when working for a start-up?
-
Tell me an interesting thing about you?
-
Why Blue Sky Analytics?
-
Suppose you get into a conflict with a co-worker, how would you go about resolving it?
-
What do you do in your free time?
-
Walk me through an interesting problem you have solved?
What to Expect in Office
We are a bunch of young enthusiastic nerds and environmentalists who really enjoy what we do. We don’t have the traditional office environment where everyone is stressed and working aimlessly to get through the day. Rather, don’t be surprised if you walk in for an interview and we are sitting and eating a massive cake, or laughing at someone's jokes.
Don’t worry, we do serious and challenging work as well that is highly rewarding. Imagine saying that your work is contributing in saving the planet.
