What Our People Think

Don't take our word for it? Here's what some of our Akilians have to say.

"While working with several Akilians, I was impressed not only with their technical ability and willingness to do whatever to accomplish the goal but they also made it fun again at work. Their attitude, openness, honesty, and ability left me no choice but to decide that Akili is where I wanted to be and who I wanted to work with."
Solutions Architect

"After working in the IT organizations of several very large companies, I became frustrated with the incompetent management. I witnessed the poor quality of work, the failure or near failure of multiple projects, and the level of employee dissatisfaction. I am a winner, and I wanted to work for a winning organization. An organization built on the principle of success - do what it takes to succeed."

What aspects of our culture appeal to you the most and why?

"I enjoy the absence of bureaucracy and stuffiness of typical corporate America because it fosters an environment where real creative and responsible people can do the things that drive high performance."
Solutions Architect

"I liked the freedom of choosing your own working hours and the relaxed working environment."
Application Developer

"Mostly the way you are free to express your opinions and ideas, knowing that the things you recommend are actually considered valuable. In my past work experience ideas only came from the "corner offices" and creativity was not at all encouraged. I also enjoy that Akili is not a very political organization. Office politics are very frustrating!"

What sets us apart from our competition?

"Our leadership, our team-based philosophy and our culture of openness and high performance. Also my opportunities and options for what I want to do are only limited by my own choices. I have a lot of open space to work in."
Solutions Architect

"Our drive for success is greater than our fear of failure."
Technology Visionary

"Our commitment to the client's success. Akili succeeds only when our clients succeed. Thus, Akili, as an organization, is dedicated to making our clients succeed. We do this in a number of ways. We hire only the best and most talented people. We think before we act, and all actions are premised with the question, "How does this impact the client?" We acknowledge our mistakes and accept responsibility for them. We are committed to doing it right the first time."

What keeps you at Akili?

"It's a GREAT place to work and great is very hard to find. Most men and women can hardly imagine what it is like here at Akili - most people would kill for a job like this. I know some have come and chosen not to stay; this place isn't for everyone. But it is a great place for people who like high adventure. Another thing that keeps me here is that we can be so much better. There are a few other ventures out there that have come close to that business miracle. So the opportunity is still out there for us to try."
Solutions Architect

"A positive, productive work environment with plenty of room to grow. I don't think anyone at Akili would ever stop you from taking on more responsibility or branching off into new areas, and opportunity is what makes a job worth having."
