We dress comfortably at the office, eat together, and play team sports together. We've been known to throw impromptu midnight parking lot BBQs (we built a bonfire once, but it didn't end well) and host movie nights in back of our building. Every Thursday evening, we break away from work to play a game of Innovation, Settlers of Catan, Dominion, or one of the many other games in the engineering pit. We don’t believe in excessive meetings, process or excessive contemplation; everyone is empowered and expected to make decisions.
