Insignia emphasizes the “work hard, play hard” culture. We work hard and strive to over-deliver on every task and assignment, but we definitely make time for fun, which creates an invaluable dynamic bond between colleagues, as well as an overall fabulous company culture.

We hold regular happy hours and lunches, enjoy “Wellness Wednesdays” with yoga or massage therapy, attend sporting events, host wedding and baby showers, and celebrate most holidays with fun get-togethers or activities. Our annual holiday party has become rather legendary with most staff attending in person, and we also celebrate our company anniversary each year with events and gifts.

Not only do we like to have fun, be we also like to give back to
our community as much as possible. Some of our past
philanthropic activities have included

Pulling weeds at local gardens
Attending community education events

DOg friendly

Our love for animals and the environment is reflected in the fact that our offices welcome dogs. We typically have at least one dog per location but have known to have up to four at any given time! They take their jobs seriously by providing moral support and comic relief and alerting us to deliveries. Check out our regular LinkedIn updates on our four-legged coworkers!

DOg friendly
