Top ten reasons to work at Strangeloop

We are a five-time winner of BC Business magazine's Best Company to Work for in BC award. Here's why:

  1. We're making the internet faster, one website at a time -- from small SaaS providers to giants like eBay/PayPal. Everyone hates slow sites. We make it easier for people to do what they need to do online, with less hair-pulling over long wait times. That's something to be proud of.
  2. Innovation is our lifeblood. Strangeloop was born out of a crazy idea literally scratched on a napkin. We embrace new ideas and aren't afraid to take chances on new approaches.
  3. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Which is why we have a kitchen fully stocked with everything you need to start every day right.
  4. Everyone is a manager. We have just enough corporate structure to be healthy, and not an ounce more. We believe smart people are capable of working toward common goals collaboratively, and we're proud to say that our people prove us right every single day.
  5. Life is simply awesome. Or L.I.S.A., as we've named our in-house concierge. Whether you need someone to pick up your drycleaning, shortlist caterers for your wedding, or mail your packages, L.I.S.A. will take care of it for you.
  6. Only the best people work here. Before coming on board, every potential new Strangeloopian runs an interview gauntlet that includes everyone from the CEO to a committee of their peers. As a result, we get people who aren't just talented -- they're pretty cool, too.
  7. It's great to work for the love, but money and perks are good, too. We pay well and offer a pretty competitive benefits package, to boot.
  8. When it comes to work/life balance, we walk the walk. We believe that happy, personally fulfilled people make the best employees. This is why we offer telecommuting and flexible work schedules (and no, that's not code for "We're flexible about letting you work all the time").
  9. Our president's door is always open. So is our CEO's door. And our CTO's. And our VP Finance's. And... you get the picture.
  10. Work hard, play hard. At Strangeloop, we get stuff done. And after the stuff gets done, we celebrate -- whether with a game of ping pong in the boardroom, a night of bowling, or an Iron Chef-style cook-off.
