Why redo everything from scratch every time? We are committed to Software Engineering best practices and are in a constant state of evolution.

You know how every company says "we work hard but we play hard too"? I would challenge them on that. Ask them "how exactly do you play hard?". We actually DO play hard. We get together as a team a lot and as a whole company. We do three out of town companywide overnight offsite events a year. And we party like rock stars. Okay, wannabe rock stars.

We believe that we have the best team of software engineers ever assembled. We started from scratch and built a team that has been tested and proven. It's that that the team is just incredibly talented, it's also that they are a fantastic group of men and women personally.
