In Their Own Words
“First and foremost, the culture. People care about each other here. If you need help with anything, you just need to ask. When I first joined Highbury right out of the military, I struggled with written briefing requirements. My program manager offered to review every brief I drafted until I felt comfortable. He spent a lot of time coaching and helping me and was always positive and encouraging.”
—
“Feeling like my work has real purpose – we are taking care of our sailors and marines.”
—
“Four months into COVID and teleworking, the company did a BBQ in the office car park. They asked everyone in the company to place their orders and gave us time slots to drive by and pick up food. The owners and senior managers spent time speaking with and checking in on everyone as we picked up food. It was great to feel connected.”
—
“Learning about (British) football. One of Highbury’s owners is a fanatical Arsenal fan. If you apply for a job here, look up Highbury Stadium before your interview. Also, don’t support “spuds””.
—
“It’s a kid and dog-friendly company.”
—
“Access to leadership. I’ve never felt like there are layers of hierarchy between me (two years out of college) and Highbury’s leadership.”
