We have a diverse culture that allows everyone to feel respected, valued, and heard. To achieve this culture, we apply the same design principles we use on our product. We take an iterative approach to our programs, processes, and goals without losing core values along the way. We place managers and leaders at the bottom of our organizational chart to emphasize their role in supporting the rest of the company as it reaches upward. We distribute authority throughout the structure with areas of responsibility to create a flexible organization that empowers employees to take ownership of processes and make decisions.

We prioritize culture across all areas of the business and look to foster a positive and supportive environment. This includes hiring for cultural fit (attitude, ambition, aptitude) and partnering with clients that share these values. Our north star is the Ashling Partners Manifesto, which is provided to candidates in the recruiting process and embraced by all employees. We will always choose progress over perfection. We are lifelong learners. We practice openness in mind, culture, and collaboration, and value versatility over technical specialization. Empathy is in our DNA.

ATB knows that our employees must matter first if we are going to serve our clients effectively. Our team is very close, and that is seen during our three-times-per-week company paid lunches as well as in our weekly in-office happy hours. We also offer unlimited vacation, stipends for employee training and certifications, plus 100 percent company-paid health insurance and 401(k) matching. Through these programs, we try to make things outside of work just a little bit easier for each employee.

Our culture centers on three core values: diversity of thought, authenticity, and initiative. Our inclusive, diverse team makes for a better workplace and limits inherent bias in our work. We stay connected through game nights, team picnics, hands-on volunteerism, fitness challenges, and other virtual and in-person activities. Through our program, Luminate, we give real-world consulting training and experience to recent college grads, supporting underrepresented newcomers as they break into the tech world.

Just as our name implies, Attentive takes great care in ensuring our employees are fully supported and equipped with the tools they need to grow and thrive. We've implemented a public praise program for employees to highlight one another's successes throughout the week. Our senior leadership team regularly shares the rationale behind key business decisions and future goals to work toward. They also model transparency around failures and missed marks and a growth mindset when it comes to turning mistakes into opportunities for improvement.
