Describe the work
atmosphere. How are decisions made, is it cooperative or competitive, what is
the dress code and work ethic of the organization?
The
work atmosphere is generally calm and quiet with a few conversations whether it
is a conference call or personal discussion. The building is naturally and
artificially well-lit with lots of surrounding greenery and pathways outdoors.
There are little to no stress factors in the work environment. Decisions are
made, in my experience so far, through cooperation. Multiple strings of emails
or Sametime (in-company messaging) are used to collaborate with coworkers and
supervisors to make decisions. These forms of communication are used to prevent
schedule mix-ups and confusion. If needed, meetings are rescheduled without
hassle. Most decisions so far have flowed nicely.
Dress
code of the company is business casual. This is usually a simple polo with
dress pants or khakis, and dress shoes. Ties are rarely seen worn in the
company on a daily basis. Fridays are called casual Friday where employees can
wear jeans instead of dress pants. As stated, the workplace is calm and
relaxed. Work ethics of the organization are included in its standards:
Responsibility, Integrity, Compassion, and Expertise.
