Employees say:
- “There are rigorous standards and processes for recruiting people who are a good fit to work together. The result is very good collaboration, shared ambition, high retention and levels of engagement.”
- “There is an annual group trip to Aspen where we’re able to spend time playing games by night and skiing together by day. This allows you to get to know the colleagues you wouldn’t typically work with.”
- “Management isn’t satisfied with the ‘this is the way it's always been done’ mentality, but strives to grow and improve as the company grows and the economic environment changes.”
