We work in an objective business: our company is judged on the returns we produce. That means we have an objective culture — one where the quality of your work counts, not the way in which you do it. That's not HR pap, it's just a function of being in an incredibly competitive business where talent and results trump all. If you're the kind of person who thinks that any task can be mastered with the right amount of effort, you'll probably do well. The only thing we ask for, besides excellent work, is that you be enjoyable to work with.
It should go without saying, but just to be clear: we discriminate on quality of work and ability to get along with others working at Montan Operations and no other grounds whatsoever.
We have an eclectic workforce and we like it that way.
Of course, it would be unfair to demand world-class work without providing a world class working environment. So that's exactly what we offer. If there's something you need to do your job better, we'll get it for you. We have no interest in the false economies — there are no skimpy book budgets or limits on database subscriptions, no red-eyes, no windowless cubicle farms. Quality workers deserve quality perks. Some of the benefits we provide:
- spacious offices
- generous research allowances
- free parking and gym memberships (including on-staff personal trainer)
- rent subsidies
- catered lunches
- fully stocked kitchen for late night snacks and caffeine fixes
- corporate get-aways (when we deserve them)
- ample vacation
- extremely competitive base compensation
- generous revenue sharing
How you get your job done — in fact, what your job encompasses — is in many ways up to you. Those looking for more regimented, predictable careers will probably do better at traditional companies. Those comfortable with a less tracked career will an excellent place to begin or continue it.
