This year, we continued evolving our practices to meet employees’ changing needs and expectations. Recent initiatives we are most proud of include closing our offices three Fridays during the summer for employees to prioritize their health and wellness, opening our offices to fully vaccinated employees so they can decide where to work, and hiring a senior manager of DEI to champion our work in breaking down barriers and enabling a diverse workforce. We offer 401(k) matching stock options for all employees, as well as free yoga/mindfulness classes, affinity groups, and a book club.

We are an equal opportunity employer that thrives on and celebrates diversity and inclusivity. We value our employees’ individuality, experience, expertise, and opinions in championing a culture of change and innovation. Team members work with clients in Fortune 500, government organizations, and system integrators to exercise and hone skills. We believe in an open-door policy and a listening culture. We believe people are a real asset for the organization, and we promote a people-centric approach and progressive culture.

We believe our employees are our most important asset, and that happy employees lead to a successful company. As we've grown, and since the pandemic began, we've had to work to preserve our family-like environment. This includes creating a "fun" Slack channel for employees to share photos and milestones, hosting virtual happy hours and holiday parties, sending out silly polls, and creating employee trivia questions to get to know one another. We also ask employees to set a personal goal each year and help them achieve it.

We make our employees the main focus. Any of our team members would undoubtedly say they look forward to spending time outside of the office with all their co-workers. We are a close-knit family that honestly enjoys one another's company. We have amazing company outings at local restaurants, in-office celebrations, and company retreats. Most important, while most companies hold a usual Monday-morning huddle to discuss work topics and to-do lists, we spend that time sharing what we are grateful for that week.

We're a highly energetic company with a soul. Each of us has a voice in our hierarchy-free company structure. This means we might disagree sometimes, but we're always committed to working together to achieve common goals. For us, that looks like focusing on family first and acting with integrity, as well as on our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and social responsibility. You'll see our energy in the way we celebrate one another's wins and stick together through challenges that come our way.
