Tech culture in Arizona
We’re located in Arizona, a burgeoning tech oasis full of software developer jobs. Home to a multitude of tech companies and start-ups, we know we have a responsibility to help keep talent in the state and growth in the sector.
We frequently host meetups and codeathons for agile and developer groups at our offices, and partner with organizations with similar missions. It’s part of our DNA to show startups that they too can succeed. Our doors are open and we share what we know. There’s no secret to success, but there is hard work.
Diversity in tech? Yes please! We created the #ItWasNeverADress campaign, which went viral and was featured in news outlets across the world. We help keep the conversation about women in software engineer jobs and other STEAM fields alive by holding events and actively participating in a dialogue about how to solve the lack of diversity in the tech space.
We take risks and we iterate fiercely. We fail sometimes, but when we do, we do it quickly. It makes triumph swifter; it makes success sweeter.
We don't have perks.
What we do have is strong culture born from our beliefs. This way of being is infused in our work and family lives. We believe in:
- Health and fitness — health and dental insurance, fitness classes, healthy lunches catered two times a week, and snacks available
- Taking breaks when needed — domestic trip after your 1-year anniversary, international trip after 5 years, 8 paid holidays per year, 3 weeks paid time off per year, and 4 weeks of paid time off per year after 5 years
- Growing professionally — We each give company-wide talks, go to beneficial conferences of our choosing each year, and have a free audiobook account
- Parent life — Option of working 75% of the week for 75% pay plus full-time benefits for working moms and dads
- Less commutes — relocation bonuses for moving closer to the office
- The right equipment — state-of-the-art computer and work equipment
- Discovery — 30-day projects to learn and stay current on new trends and technologies
