May 29, 2018 was my first day working at Statista. Before I started, I had to do some research on the company including its goal, founders and location. Statista is a private company that was founded in 2007 by Friedrich Schwandt and Tim Kröger in Hamburg, Germany. They have various offices located in Hamburg, New York, London, Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam, Brussels, Zurich, Stockholm, Madrid, Istanbul, and Brussels. Statista in New York is located on the 30th floor on 55 Broad St, a bit close to Wall St. In the New York office, the company has 100 employees and growing. As an online statistics portal, the company’s primary business is to provide marketing research and consumer data to businesses, government institutions, universities and more. Some of their clients include Microsoft, Apple, and IBM.
Since day 1, I’ve been working with the Tech Department, a department focusing on providing tech companies such as those listed previously. However, I’ve been working closely with the department’s director who is in charge of the team. Their goal consists of providing Statista’s services to tech companies and I’m currently working a lengthy project with them regarding new technology. It’s been pretty exciting working with the director as I’m learning lots of things in the tech industry and what makes it more exciting is my personal interest in tech as a former computer engineering student.
I haven’t been able to exactly find articles on Statista, but there have been articles that use Statista’s infographs and data to discuss current events, trends and forecasts.
A couple of those articles that featured data and infographs are NewsWeek and TechRadar.
Links to those articles can be found here.
