THE TOP TEN REASONS TO WORK AT GOLD SYSTEMS

1. What we do matters.
Our services and expertise help preserve our nation's rivers and streams, save the lives of pilots, manage response to catastrophic disasters, track the source of birth defects, provide health and human services for families across the country and assist government workers in doing a better job for everyone. Although we're not always recognized for it, our products deliver the greater good.

2. How we do it is fun.
We are an agile company: collaboration, teamwork, and creative thinking are central to our way of doing business. Development teams are self organizing and self directed. We favor a flat organization--one in which our leadership maintains an open access policy for all employees and believes that everyone can contribute to the direction and growth of the company. Our entire staff is passionately driven to provide innovative and solid solutions for our clients.

3. We have the best people and we want more.
The skills and interests of our staff might surprise you. Among our staff are performing artists, pilots, PhD's, photographers, runners, rock climbers, faculty members, blue grass musicians and even an ice hockey official. Most important, we are energetic and talented people who are good at what we do. We want the best and brightest to come and work with us. We do not discriminate with regard to gender, race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, or religion.

4. We appreciate our people and we show it.
Employees receive a yearly technology budget to "feed their inner geek". Your budget can be used to purchase technology toys that are on your work environment wish list - items like, flat screen monitors, mp3 players, portable hard drives, PDAs and GPS units. Better still: after one year you can buy it from the company for $1.00. Yes. You read that right - $1.00! A commercial grade popcorn popper and fountain drink dispenser mean that snacks are always handy.  Free juice, coffee, tea and cocoa are also on hand. Our staff enjoy a weekly catered lunch - on us. When productivity goals are met, we reward ourselves with perks like gift certificates and incentives.

5. Your family and outside life are important to us.
A 40 hour work week is pretty unusual in the technology industry but at Gold Systems it's the standard. Sure, we have our crunch times, but a career that constantly keeps you away from your family and friends will lead to burn out and that's not in anyone's best interest.

6. Good, solid benefits.
In order to take care of what's most important we offer:

  • Generous paid vacation and personal leave
  • Comprehensive medical benefits
  • Flex spending
  • Company-matched 401k
  • No-cost disability insurance
  • No-cost life insurance
  • Supplemental insurance

7. Flexibility in your schedule.
We all have important things to take care of and sometimes need to adjust the way we work. In most cases, as long as there is no disruption to the project, our team members have flexibility in their work schedule. Need an extra day off or a flexible start time? No problem, just coordinate with your team and we can accommodate you.

8. Honesty and ethics will get you everywhere.
We don't over bill our clients, nor do we practice bait and switch consulting strategies. We don't sell solutions that are bigger than our client needs and we don't make recommendations that are based on self interest. We work an honest day at fair rates and seek clients who are long-term partners.This philosophy ensures that we can (helps us maintain) provide job security and career opportunities for our talented, hardworking staff. Since day one, our Company has been based on honesty and strong work ethics. That's why we're still in business and continue to grow.

9. Educated employees keep us in business.
Gold Systems believes in helping you stay current with technology and industry education. We reimburse our employees for books and other pre-approved educational expenses. We also sponsor a weekly lunch and learn where we provide educational sessions on everything from Java to fly fishing to photography.

10. We even play together well.
Gold Systems sponsors regular social events and holds quarterly team building activities, like bowling, go-cart racing, Jazz games, and camping. There are groups that run, ski, golf, take pictures, fly airplanes, travel, and even keep a ping pong tournament going. Maybe that's part of why we like working together.
