Invest in your career.

We think life and work should be more like a Jimmy Buffett song. It should be a slice of paradise. We’re here to make that a reality.

Find your true north.

We’ll help you find your true north, at home and at work. We found ours, and it’s investing in you—supporting your journey while impacting the world. How do we do it? It starts with eating great food at monthly staff meetings. It involves quarterly tailgates with craft beer tastings, wine tastings, cornhole, water pong, and more. It definitely includes Cuban coffee. Every day. It’s nerf wars, open snack kitchens, family events, holiday parties, and employee days where we take the team somewhere fun, expenses paid. True north is working hard and giving back to your community. It’s living your best life. Interested?

TESTIMONIALS

Best company culture ever! I have been in HR for decades and I have loved my employer before, but never have I worked for a company so focused on doing what is best for their employees and their families. If there is ever a decision that has to be made I can honestly say the owners always decide in the employee’s favor. It’s always what is fair and what is best for the employee. They are parents, they have aging parents, they have a lot of what all of us have going on in our lives and they manage this company with that in the forefront, plus a big dose of fun.

As a woman engineer, it started to seem to me that being both a mom and an engineer was impossible. Past experiences had shown me this balance wasn’t as prevalent as you believe it should be in this current day and age. I’ve been at Protean for almost a year now and have taken a few personal days to stay home with my sick child during his first year of life. Never have my superiors or coworkers made me feel guilty or underachieving for each day I took to be the caregiver I needed to be for my family. The company’s determination to understand their employees’ life demands is refreshing and greatly appreciated.
