While we value our work together in a highly spirited team atmosphere, we value the individual, and respect individuality as such. Our organizational norms dictate that we are relentless in attacking problems, but supportive in valuing individual differences. We are intellectually diverse.
Complex problems require multidimensional and interdisciplinary analysis and solutions.
