1. Freedom

We understand that brilliant people hate rules and shackles, and desire the freedom to do their work - in their way.

2. Thinking BIG!

With small ideas, we aim for big impact. When we build a web app, we want it to change the way people use the web. When we start an eCommerce venture, we aim to be either #1 or #2 in the market. We aim to be as influential in improving people's lives through technology as Yahoo, Google or Apple. We love Big, Scary, Audacious Goals.

3. Profitability

We're fully profitable and continue to grow each year at impressive rates. Need Stability? You got it!

4. Great People

We hire only the best. For a typical position we shift through 100 resumes and interview at least 10 people. Make it in, and you'll be working with some of the best minds in the business. We understand that "A" people attract "A" people.

5. Perks

We treat our employees well. You get your own laptop (Mac or PC, your pick), your own 22 inch widescreen LCD, an iPod dock, free food, rent-subsidization, occasional concert tickets, Starbucks coffee, dinners at 6-star hotels, free trips to paradise islands like Bali... Our founders have worked at Microsoft and eBay, and believe in the Silicon Valley model of spoiling employees. But more importantly, we treat our people as human beings, and are sensitive to your unique needs.

6. Creativity

Your typical work week is 45 hours. Of this time, we allow you to spend 5 hours a week working on your own projects or inventions. If your project is successful, we will help you launch it. We have modeled this after Google and 3M's style of nurturing creativity within the organization.

7. Stability

We have never taken a drop of investment and so have no investors to pull the plug on us. Our business also spans multiple industries such as internet marketing, product development, publishing and coding. This protects us from short term market trends in any one industry.

8. Fun

We put the "Fun" in "Business Fundamentals". Don't get us wrong - we're a disciplined, well-oiled engine of growth. But we believe that business should be fun and people should look forward to going to work each day.

9. Idealism

100% of our employees have spent significant time volunteering or working for non-profits. We started this business to change the world. Money came naturally. As a result, we will devote our time and attention to causes that may not bring in short term profits, but may result in positive social change.

10. Entrepreneurship

We understand that great people dream of starting their own companies. We help you attain this dream. We provide training and mentorship to help you grow. We do not require any employees to sign a bonding contract. Simply put, you are free to learn from us and then move on when you are ready to start your own business. We respect entrepreneurship.
