Be Yourself
Each person starting their career at Ulteig — from lead engineering to project management — brings their own unique characteristics, experiences, style, age, race, gender, religion and sexual identity. We seek and value diverse perspectives on our team and create an environment where you can work and thrive as your authentic self.
Through our inclusive culture, we are empowering our employees, and strengthening the relationships with our clients and community partners by:
- Speaking up for ourselves and each other
- Freely sharing our ideas
- Honoring the differences among us
- Advocating to create and sustain a diverse and equitable future
Employee Owners Make a Difference
Ulteig’s team takes great pride in being part of an employee-owned company. That’s because they know that their contributions to the success of the company benefit not only their clients, but their co-workers and themselves. They look at their work and the decisions they make on a day-to-day basis a little bit differently. They connect their work to the value they are creating for each other. When the stock price is announced in the summer of each year, employees are really excited, because they know that they are collectively sharing in the success that they have created.
And, employee owners at Ulteig have a strong voice. They are constantly sharing their opinions through surveys, listening sessions, regular town hall meetings, and other mechanisms. Speaking and being heard are part of our culture, and we are stronger because of it!
