Culture

We see our collegial, collaborative culture as a sustainable competitive advantage.

Foundations of our culture

We value integrity

We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. Trust is at the core of our relationships with clients and with each other. We work hard to earn and sustain that trust.

We are a meritocracy

We value excellence and set the bar high in all facets of our business. We seek to attract, retain and inspire the best and most dedicated individuals.

We are innovative

We believe that continual improvement is critical amid constant change. Our emphasis on learning and our entrepreneurial spirit enable us to meet the evolving needs of our clients.

We are collaborative

We expect and value collaboration — it is a hallmark of our culture. A sense of community exists at our firm. Teamwork predominates.

We are inclusive

Ideas have no hierarchy. Our transparency and open architecture facilitate the exchange of ideas, giving each of us a voice and a responsibility. We value feedback for our own development and are willing to offer it to others.

We are humble

We are focused on achievement, but are humble about our accomplishments and try to learn from our mistakes. We take what we do seriously, but we do not take ourselves too seriously.

We are humanistic

We recognize that careers and lives are not linear. Acceptance of this ebb and flow of life is an important part of who we are.
