Treeview operates as a senior-only team. We hold a controversial belief that seniority is not based on experience and cannot be taught. We believe seniority is a mindset based on the following principles:
We believe mastery is a way of life, a personality trait rooted in the following qualities: curiosity, passion, resilience, adaptability, humility, effort, and the never-ending pursuit of becoming better.
The fundamentals are the core essentials of every domain and context. Understanding the fundamentals means internalizing them so deeply that they become the foundation of your thinking. Once you understand the fundamentals, you start seeing patterns, root causes, and key points of value in your thinking and decision making.
Judgment is the ability to make quality decisions. The quality of these decisions depends on the quality of thinking and effective mental models. Good judgment requires understanding the fundamentals and it involves thoughtfully weighing context, impact, priorities, trade-offs, risks and patterns with intention.
Taste is your sense of quality, shaped through exposure, curiosity, and attention to detail. It’s the instinct that defines our standards and the intuition we rely on for decision-making.
Speed is often a clear signal of seniority. It comes from a deep understanding of what matters, what doesn’t, and how to reach the contextually desired outcome with minimal overhead. It reflects the ability to execute with mastery, fundamental understanding and judgement.
Great communication is about synthesizing complexity into clarity and ensuring the receiver interprets the message as it was intended. The ability to synthesize well and communicate clearly through a preferred channel is a signal of seniority.
