Establishing ‘Five Guys Fridays’ when award-winning food from Five Guys Burgers & Fries restaurants is brought in for all employees to enjoy at no cost, holding corporate quarterly meetings off-site at AMC Movie Theaters and quarterly celebrations at local hot spots, such as Maggiano’s, as well as participating in fun cross company activities like ping-pong, basketball, soccer, and foosball tournaments adds a level of interaction that makes working collaboratively day-to-day with co-workers very relaxed, enjoyable, and productive.
“It is an honor to be named one of 50 ‘best places to work’ in greater Washington, D.C. for the third consecutive year, particularly considering the extraordinary business community that exists in this area.” stated Duke Chung, Parature CEO and President. “It is our resolve, at Parature, to not only build a successful company, but to encourage our employee’s personal and professional growth while simultaneously creating a culture that is challenging, motivational, and fun.”
