I wish I would have found SWCA sooner. I've been happy and engaged at other organizations, but until I came here I'd never found a place which offered so much to myself and my colleagues. This place is fantastic.
I feel sincerely valued by my colleagues and organizational leadership. I'm asked to contribute to meaningful decisions the organizations makes, and I feel empowered to do great work.
Best work environment I've ever experienced, hands down. I'm inspired to give my best to this team.
There is great camaraderie with team members. Colleagues are supportive and helpful.
I gain great energy from being able to work with such tremendous colleagues.
The leadership team is very engaged in investing in a workplace where employees can growth!
The leadership team is accessible and very focused on the employee experience of SWCA's staff.
Employees are treated with regard and respect. Employees that won't act in this way aren't tolerated.
Colleagues are helpful and supportive. I know I can find many resources to help me do great work.
I've never worked at an organization where, across the board, colleagues have been so fun to work with.
SWCA leadership sincerely wants to create the best workplace in the industry. Many investments, including career development, workplace flexibility, etc. are clear examples of that.
We employee a diverse array of scientists from many disciplines who work together incredibly well. It is fun to be part of that type of team.
The leadership team is very approachable and genuinely care about employees. I've never seen a senior leadership team that is so accessible and invested in connecting with staff at all levels.
I was given plenty of time and opportunity to ask questions of my interviews to help me better understand the role I was interviewing for and make an informed career decision.
The leadership team at SWCA is shockingly available and cares deeply about the success of our employees, not just the organization. This is honestly something that is quite rare to find .
Colleagues are talented, bright, and committed to doing great work. There is tremendous respect and professional displayed between staff. It is fun to work with such great people with a tremendous culture!
Through the Employee Stock Ownership Program employees are allocated shares of ownership in the company each year. Unlike a traditional 401(k) retirement program there is no employee contribution required to receive these awards.
I feel that the work I do is meaningful, and I'm empowered to do the best work of my career. I feel great satisfaction regarding the contributions I'm able to make to SWCA.
The work we do is highly collaborative. You are constantly working on teams with new colleagues from across the company, and that is fun and engaging and helps you learn from many different people.
The people who work at this company are tremendous. I can think of very few people who work here that I don't look forward to collaborating with. That in and of itself is pretty rare.
The fact that we are an employee owned firm is a big deal. I've built my retirement account without me having to first commit portion of my paycheck as you see with many organizations which rely on 401(k) programs.
The team was quite intentional about helping me understand what it would look like to work at SWCA. I appreciate the time to give me a very realistic view of things, as this was an important decision for me.
SWCA offers much more flexibility than most other firms regarding work location. That saves me a lot of time and money that would otherwise be devoted to commuting. There are other great benefits, but this is one which is pretty unique.
I continue to be astounded at the level of collegiality and collaboration here. I'd be hard pressed to identify even a handful of "jerks" at this company. That is rare. People who value and respect one another come and stay here.
The leadership team understands investing in our people is critical to executing our business strategy. They've sponsored an award-winning career development program, nurtured an amazing company culture, and structured an employee ownership model which allows all employees to share in our successes.
In addition to base compensation, bonus, and benefits SWCA invests in tuition reimbursement and career development in a way that few other organizations do. The value of the flexibility they offer me to work from wherever I like is of significant value as well.
It is pretty impressive that 6% of our total compensation is automatically deposited in our retirement savings. Most companies require you to put up 3% to receive a matching contribution. Not here - the company automatically makes those awards as part of the Employee Stock Ownership Program.
The quality of the people at SWCA is like nothing I've experienced before professionally. The culture is professional and collegial. The organization is filled with incredibly intelligent and accomplished employees. As a part of such a great team it is easy to do the best work of my career here.
I find my colleagues to be highly motivated to do great work. I'm more envigorated by the energy of my peers here than I have been at any other company at which I've worked in my career. The culture is exceptional. It is inspiring to collaborate with such intelligent and insightful team members.
