"I started as an intern at REI in 2015, and right away I was welcomed into the REI Family. The people here sincerely care about their work and their peers. Even better, at the end of a long day we all know how to have fun!"

"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 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."

"Every day is different. I work with different people every day because we’re looking at new hires every day. It makes it fun. Every moment is new, and every moment brings a new challenge."

"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."
