An Insider's view of Spring Labs

What does your typical day look like?

The first thing I do is say "Hi" to my best friend in the world, Savannah. We gab about our previous evening, then head to the kitchen for some coffee! Then it's off to check emails! What a thrill. During lunch, we play our favorite game in the world "Categories!" Then we play ping pong. That's it. Or is it? It is. Or is it? It's not.

How does the company support your career growth?

The company encourages me to pursue interests related to the work I’m doing on my team. They’re also never shy to lend a hand or start a pair programming session to help me understand a complex concept. I love how I’m supported to pursue interests that don’t directly relate to my job description.

What makes someone successful on your team?

Compliance is successful when we use our influence to become a trusted business partner, essentially earning the respect of other team members in the organization. To gain that respect, the Compliance team must leave ego at the door and roll up our sleeves to accomplish the greater good for the company.
