"I think REI cares so much for its employees. I think they’ve done so much, giving things like professional development hours and training, which is very unique. And I’ve been given opportunities to learn completely new technologies, like Office 365 and Azure, so I’m grateful for that."

I really like that I get to work with an amazing and diverse group of professionals who are smart, caring, and proactive. Every day I see examples of individuals doing the "right thing" and foregoing the "quick thing" or the "easy thing."

"I like that REI focuses on a person’s ability to be a value-add. It doesn’t matter where you start in the company—if you have a desire to contribute, you will be recognized. That’s not company Kool-Aid; I have truly benefited from that."

"REI will let you be the best you. From the beginning when I interviewed with REI and up to now, I have always been given the opportunity to pursue my interests. REI really supports its people by encouraging them to follow their passions."

"Almost everything I do is cool. Right now I’m working in a CI/CD environment for IAE (Integrated Award Environment) using cutting-edge open source technology and methodology to solve one of the government’s biggest problems around procurement and acquisition."
