This is what it has been like working at an Inc. Best Workplace custom software company for the last 3 months.
Ever wondered what it’s like to work at an award-winning company? Imagine an environment where you feel comfortable and productive, whether in the office or working from home. When you have a supportive culture and dynamic atmosphere, coming to work feels less like a chore and more like being part of a community where your voice is heard, and you get paid to be there.
If you’re intrigued by this, let me introduce you to Orases, experts in custom software development. With clients ranging from the NFL to Johns Hopkins, they’re proof that great work and great fun can go hand in hand. Their award-winning culture is as innovative as their software solutions.
So who is Orases?
Orases is a custom software company specializing in application modernization, web portals, UI/UX design, and various other services. They offer both remote and in-person positions and are headquartered about an hour outside of Baltimore and DC in Frederick, MD. Their clients span diverse industries, including NPR, Walter Reed, and Next Day Dumpsters.
But here’s the real kicker – Orases isn’t just about software development and office perks. What stands out are their values, D.R.I.V.E., which promote a strong employee culture and ensure a quality product is delivered to the client. Orases has cultivated a company culture
that feels almost too good to be true.
The glowing reviews on Glassdoor are genuine, despite my initial skepticism. Having experienced it firsthand, I can attest that team members at Orases are genuinely content and engaged in their work. The leadership is exceptional, demonstrating a sincere commitment to the well-being and success of every individual.
They consistently strive to create an environment where everyone can thrive both professionally and personally, setting each team member up for success.
Orases prioritizes outstanding customer service. Think in-person lunches, served on real plates with non-plastic utensils – because nothing says “we value you” like a nice meal. The office provides a fun and welcoming space for clients to meet the team, draw on whiteboard walls, and even engage in an impromptu jam session at the band setup, featuring guitars, amplifiers, and a drum kit.
They support differing opinions
From my first day, I realized that Orases is more than just a workplace; it’s a collaborative and inclusive environment where everyone is valued and respected for their contributions. The team spans from coast to coast, including members in Alaska and Hawaii, bringing together a rich mix of cultures and generations.
This fosters an atmosphere where diverse perspectives and backgrounds are not only welcomed but actively sought out. It’s genuinely fulfilling to know that each team member’s unique voice, including my own, is heard and appreciated here.
They invest in their people
Orases isn’t just in the business of building software; they’re in the business of building people. From webinars to workshops, if you want to level up, they’ve got your back and genuinely care about your growth and performance in your role. You can rest assured that if you don’t know something, just be honest and ask for help—they’ll always be there to support you.
They care for their people
When someone has a big life event, you can count on the team for support. When I got engaged recently, the team’s excitement was off the charts. This support goes beyond celebrations; colleagues regularly check in on each other’s well-being, fostering a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Orases truly cultivates a culture of belonging, transforming it from a workplace into a genuine community.
They build a community
Orases goes beyond typical team-building exercises, offering a range of engaging activities that foster genuine connections among team members. These include passion events, online gaming meetups, virtual trivia, and surprise activities that keep the workplace culture lively and fun.
The company’s commitment to team bonding includes flying in remote team members for in-person events including annual retreats, trainings, the opportunity to experience the in-person office, and a slew of unconventional outings. These events often include collaborative meetings, speakers, and various opportunities to just get to know their team better and to have fun together. These opportunities assist to further strengthen the bonds within the team in a remote work environment.
Through these initiatives, Orases demonstrates its dedication to employee growth, collaboration, and success, creating an environment where team members can excel both professionally and personally.
They Create More Than Just a Workplace
Orases isn’t just another tech company; it’s redefining what a great workplace can be. The company’s culture is built on daily interactions and a supportive environment crafted collectively by the team. That’s precisely what Orases has achieved and why they have won the best workplace awards.
The company has successfully created an environment where work is more than just a job—it’s a place where people genuinely support and care for each other. If you’re seeking to break free from the mundane and join a community of talented professionals, Orases could be the perfect fit for you.
