Great ideas know no color. They don’t belong or prescribe to any one religion, racial makeup, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. Great ideas transcend. That’s what makes them great. The same can be said of our employees. Their differences are their strengths. And we leverage those strengths to create work that resonates.
