Just thought that now that I'm done my orientation I could share with you a little bit more bout the company. I'll do it in a few segments mentioning things that i find are cool/relevant on days that I feel like.

In our orientation they showed us this Trailer/Video about the company and I thought it was pretty cool. Check it out:

Go there and click on the "This is our story" button and it'll stream the video for you.

After some research and a rumor we heard yesterday me and the guy that works next to me discovered the truth about the chairs we're sitting on.


It is the Mirra Task Chair by HermanMiller and comes in at $799 USD. Please realize that everyone of the 1600 people working here has this chair if not better.

The training room we were in yesterday had 50 Aeron Chairs that come in at $945 USD. Yikes!
