CULTURE

At Spyder Trap, we know the value of our employees. We believe it is important to recognize this through great benefits like full health insurance, flexible schedules, learning/development opportunities and a creative atmosphere. In fact, to accommodate our growing team, we recently made the move to the Loring Corners building, and we’re undergoing construction to make the space work for everyone (including collaborative work areas with a coffee shop vibe). We take pride in a culture that encourages our close-knit group of 40 employees to make coming to work fun and rewarding! We definitely enjoy our Dog Fridays!

CORE VALUES

Want to know what it takes to make such an excellent team? We recently identified five core values.

1) Passion

On paper, many people have the skills to complete a job; we look for something more, something intangible.
Truly innovative work is built with passion—a quality you can’t teach. We are a passionate, digital-minded team of writers, singers, painters, gamers, athletes, photographers, chefs, sports fans, runners and cyclists. Our creativity is driven by our collective digital devotion—and our differences.

2) Excellence

Results are built from the details up.
We stand behind every step of our process—from discovery and ideation to production and its end delivery. Delivering excellence means a Spyder Trap client receives the best service and experience through the combination of customer service, product quality and results.

3) Authenticity

You want to be you; we want you to be you, too.
We know the best digital work is produced in a positive, fun atmosphere. The Spyder Trap culture thrives in an honest, open work environment where new ideas and constructive feedback can be shared, exchanged and improved.

4) Curiosity

Learning begins with asking “Why?”
We are explorers—observant, fascinated and innovative. We’re invested in developing and sharing knowledge with each other.

To find the answers, we scour our research: following blogs, taking and teaching classes, attending conferences and seminars, testing new solutions and collaborating into infinity.

5) Agility

The digital landscape changes quickly and often—so must we.
Our company is leading the changing digital scene. An agile team like ours requires an ongoing commitment to flexibility and adaptation. We are always receptive and responsive to the needs of both our clients and each other.

Creating A Culture

The companies that were recognized are organizations that are setting the standard for leadership, benefits, best work environment, innovative training programs and overall employee happiness.

Not only does Spyder Trap provide great benefits like full health insurance, flexible schedules, learning opportunities, and a creative atmosphere; but we have a great team of talented individuals creating a culture that makes coming to work fun and rewarding!

Several of our staff attended the award ceremony on June 4th, 2012 and it was a pleasure to represent this awesome group.
