Our Culture
We’re a little (ok, a lot) different from most companies our size. It works for us, but it isn’t for everyone…

“Self-Development” of Career Path
This happens at the intersection of focusing on an individual’s strengths and interests, how those align with business needs (which we call putting “round pegs in round holes”), and providing ongoing challenges to accelerate the process. Continuous learning is enhanced by the job itself, coupled with formal and informal mentoring and training. Roles are often created for people, as opposed to putting people in pre-defined boxes on an org chart.
