Three cool things:
- An annual Gives BACK (Bonding about Charity and Kindness) Week includes volunteer activities, fundraising, lunch and learns about nonprofits and an employee-led granting contest; a Bonding Club hosts events such as ice cream socials, meetups, a “bonding through birthdays” series and an annual ski trip.
- Managers are able to expense a gift or reward to any of their direct reports who have shown exceptional achievement in order to recognize hard work; the firm rewards longevity with an extra week of vacation for staffers hitting their 10-year work anniversaries, two weeks extra after 20 years and three weeks after 30 years.
- All employees receive two volunteer days, two floating holidays, two study days and two wellness days as personal days to be used whenever they’d like, with manager permission.
Employees say:
- “The people are what keep me coming back day after day. I’ve formed great relationships and have colleagues that I genuinely enjoy working with. I feel part of something larger and know that the work I do every day contributes to the firm’s and our clients’ success. There are great opportunities to switch roles internally if I’m interested in learning something new.”
- “Everyone is friendly and willing to help each other so the next person can learn … At times it doesn’t feel like you’re going into work; it feels like you’re going to school to learn more material so you can do better in your career with the help of your co-workers and managers.”
- “We have a culture here that is more than just lip service. We have really strong colleagues and a great deal of engagement, events and activities to promote our culture and connect our people.”
