…I had started on a contract that sounded great on the surface, but after arriving, it was anything but. I spent a couple of months trying to get through it and not rock the boat with Artera and our prime. Once it came out that I wasn’t happy the only response Susan [President/CEO] had was, “I wish you had told me sooner.”

From Our Employees

Still not convinced we put our employees first? Hear what a few of them have to say.

It’s great to be part of a company where you genuinely like every single person in that company. How many people get to say that and mean it? Artera is a close-knit team, where everyone’s opinion matters, and we all contribute to the company culture in a big way. It’s nice to have that amount of direct impact and control in shaping the company you are a part of.

When I interviewed with the company, I felt very comfortable, and I thought this would be a great place to work. I know that they were looking for what would be the best fit for my current goals and we found a match. It also helped that the benefits were extremely attractive.

I have worked for a number of companies over the course of my career and after being with Artera now for nearly a decade, I cannot imagine working for any other company. The owner and my colleagues make Artera such an amazing company, the opportunities are just the icing on the cake.

Joining a small company can be daunting, but with Artera it has been such a great experience. Artera will regularly ask for your opinion on company benefits, growth, and events and they really listen. It is great knowing that I can have impact on things that are important to me. Susan works hard to make sure you are happy in your job. I had started on a contract that sounded great on the surface, but after arriving, it was anything but. I spent a couple of months trying to get through it and not rock the boat with Artera and our prime. Once it came out that I wasn’t happy the only response Susan had was “I wish you had told me sooner.” She put so much time and focus in getting me a new contract while rolling me off my current and within a month, I was in a new position and much happier.
