Great Instead of Big

We know what we want to be when we grow up…

Atomic Object was five years old in September of 2006. At that time we employed 20 people. Our values directed us to focus on retaining and attracting top-notch talent. We will be great and not big.

We spend much time and energy on finding, training, helping, and acculturating new people into growing and expanding the skills of the people we have. Every hour we spend on teaching, learning and improving increases our collective value as a company.

Managing our size, in fact, inspires incredible creativity in growing revenue and defining success. Refining our processes, entering new business domains, pursuing creative deals, doing more fun projects, testing the heretofore untestable, working even better with customers, delivering more value in less time, developing our people, finding new approaches to old problems, mastering new technologies, innovating on business structure, building on our reputation, spreading our name, serving the communities we’re a part of – these types of achievements represent some of the many ways we grow and define success.
