In Remedy's offices you can find a masseuse, someone to run errands to the dry-cleaner or an employee's dog walking the aisles. These might look like the same frivolous perks that swelled egos and sapped cash at many failed dot-coms, but there is something deeper anchoring Remedy's benefits and employees. I have total and complete latitude to be myself. The thing that has kept me at this company is that ability to interact, and there's no benefit you can put on a piece of paper to match that.
Remedy does a lot to instill a sense of culture.
Fresh hires, who get a box of goodies just for signing on, go through orientation classes in corporate values. These are listed in a set of eight tenets. The idea is to show that the company trusts its employees to do well, so they have the power to get the job done. The people I know here could work anywhere they want, but they stay because they feel nurtured and supported. That also means Remedy expects its 1,400 employees to do their best.
