For the second year in a row, Spyder Trap is pleased to be included in Minnesota Business Magazine’s list of Best 100 Companies To Work For in 2013. The list includes 100 small, medium and large size Minnesota companies that set high standards for leadership, benefits, work environment, culture, innovative training programs and overall employee satisfaction.
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.
