“Great leaders understand that they need to reinforce key values to sustain the culture they are trying to instill. Our people are reminded every day about our greater purpose to make a positive impact. They know where we are going as a firm and they identify with the values that guide us to get there.”
Jennifer Goodman

“We are intentional about encouraging our people to broaden their horizons. We want first year staff to experience working with clients in a variety of industries and to involve themselves in diverse initiatives including recruiting, training, and community service. Then they will be able to identify areas of interest and take the first step in building their career path."

A well-rounded experience

"My assignments gave me a well-rounded experience. In addition to technical training, I learned the value of client relationships. In fact, I started working with a few of my current clients during my ENVISION internship. Working alongside my team members made my transition from intern to employee seamless."
