MY EXPERIENCE AT PARIVEDA
I'm having the most enjoyable and rewarding professional experience.  Over the years I've worked in a number of companies, large and small, and with some incredible people, and have had some unique life experiences (e.g., my work with Latin America in my last stint at Accenture). 

However, my time at Pariveda is the most fulfilling - the people I work with are incredible, the variety of challenges and clients keep it fresh, my contributions make a difference, and I am accepted for who I am as an individual.

WHY PARIVEDA?
Quantitative reasons:
- Small teams deployed on projects small enough to deliver quickly and add value rapidly
- Accountable for both sales and delivery; no separate sales force
- Local market focused keeping resources close and accessible to our clients
- Common and evolving methodologies/processes based on Agile delivery methods keep our teams closely engaged with client personnel
- Nimble, flexible approach to project definition and delivery

Qualitative reasons:
- Our will to succeed - individually and corporately - is something we measure
- Our behavior at clients (collaborative, flexible, friendly, respectful) is as important to our success as the project deliverables
- Our company is structured to attract, retain, and grow the most talented people, which is reinforced through employee ownership model (all employees are owners) and our profit sharing structure (managers and below max out their potential before executives get rewarded)

WORK SHOULD BE FUN
