Don(SMRTQUOT)t tell, but the real secret to our success is our hiring process. We spend an unusual amount of time getting to know you and in ways that other companies haven(SMRTQUOT)t gotten around to caring about. We(SMRTQUOT)re looking for something more. It(SMRTQUOT)s a bit of a pain, for both of us. But you just might wind up working with the most fascinating people you(SMRTQUOT)ve ever met in the most stimulating environment you(SMRTQUOT)ve ever experienced.
