I get to work with people from different disciplines within the company, and I can be involved with a product from inception to production. It's rewarding to see something I've worked on go out the door, and into customers' hands, and then to see what our customers make.

Everyone is serious about, and dedicated to, their job.

Not just making things, but making the things that make other things.

My team has the right breadth and depth of knowledge to get our work done.

We have a strong willingness to help one another succeed, and we enjoy being together.

Getting to do design work, and knowing that I can rely on my colleagues to deliver at high quality.

The leadership team is very focused on company culture and values, which is very important. They take action based on that.

They are very transparent about what they know and don't know, and make regular efforts to communicate with the rest of the company.

Benefits seem to match those of larger, more established companies. I took a rather large pay cut to come to Carbon, so I'm neutral on that.

We freely share our outside interests in various chat rooms, which allows us to get to know one another on a more personal level. I believe that this helps enrich our working relationships.

The focus was on how well I could explain what I knew, rather than what I didn't know. I was also assessed on my ability to learn, and my cultural fit. I came from a different technical background, and Carbon's initiative was to bring in talent with those diverse perspectives.
