WHY THIS ONE:
What's different about this one? It's culture and environment. We've helped this firm hire a numerous people over the past 7 years. They are all still there, and give their thoughts:
- "I like that there's no politics here. Everyone is open and honest, no pretenses, and no games."
- "The Managing Partner sits just down the hall, and I see him all the time. His door's always open and I can just walk in and talk about a situation or ask a question."
- "It's a real family-oriented company. If I need to take my kid to the doctor, I can do it and adjust my hours without being made to feel guilty about it."
- "I came from a large firm where it was all about your boss making partner. Here, there are no ego’s - we all work as a team to help each other."
- "We do all sorts of team and community things, like charity golf outings and helping our not for profit clients with their events and initiatives."
The professionals we have helped them hire love it, and that speaks volumes.
