FUNOMETER New employees are made to feel welcome. Meetings are positive and light. We have fun activities at least once a month. It’s common to hear people laughing around
here. I can be myself at work. We have a lot of celebrations for special events. When brainstorming, we like to have fun. My boss is usually optimistic and smiling. Customers would call us fun to do business
with. I have a friend at work who makes me laugh. We have a good time together.
