Team Culture

The Codesmith community is a key part of what attracts residents and team members to our programs! We set the example for Codesmith residents of what it means to work hard, support each other, and have fun while we’re at it. Collaboration, diligence, authenticity, and appreciation is what we’re all about.

Team Member Spotlight: Tay and Cassandra

We have loved getting the opportunity to work together not only because we get to reflect on our graduates’ outcomes, but also because this teamwork has given us the opportunity to develop an authentic friendship. Between the drafts of reports, we find time to laugh, catch up on life outside of work, and even get together for in-person work sessions over lunch.

As two coworkers who would’ve otherwise not gotten the chance to work together, we are grateful to work so closely on this cross-divisional project & are even more grateful for the friendship we’ve been able to foster because of this. :)
