When I came across Kea while job hunting in early 2021, the sector focus and emphasis on research in their approach put them head-and-shoulders above their prospective competition. I made the decision to join when I began formally interviewing, when those I spoke to at Kea felt like colleagues far more than they felt like interviewers.
