Earlier this week, we released visualization filters that allow everyone on Mode to interact more deeply with dashboards to find new answers.

Over the last few months, we've been heads down building new power into Mode to help everyone explore data.

Earlier this summer we released report filters and the new charts. Analysts are using these new features to turn what were previously static reports into powerful tools for anyone to answer routine questions.

Pairing great data talent with great data jobs

As an analyst, finding a great job can be tough. We're all too familiar with this here at Mode. The analysts among us have been there ourselves, and we constantly hear from community members about the headache of finding relevant data jobs. Thanks to the murky use of keywords like "analyst" in job posts, job hunting means wading through a swamp of irrelevant posts. So, we decided to make our own job board; a curated list of the best data jobs.

As it has in previous years, WrangleConf 2017 brought to the foreground some of the most pressing issues for data scientists today. While there were certainly tactical discussions about how analysts ply their trade, the most powerful threads focused on the dangers of bias in all its forms and the need to meet audiences where they are when presenting data.

A couple of weeks ago we announced a series of new code-free data exploration features to let everyone find answers hidden in data. The functionality is rolling out in four phases over the next couple of months. Phase one, Filters, is now live.

There's a common misconception that an analyst's work is lonely. That we're mad scientists off in a corner somewhere crunching numbers in ways no one else can.

But that's not how analysis works. Analysts don't just drop in with solutions and retreat.
