1. We don't just push the envelope, we create new envelopes
 

In 1998, we were the first company to deliver software over the Internet, making it simple for businesses to access critical applications without huge hardware and licensing investments. In fact, the term Application Service Provider was coined about us.

 

In 2006, we created a revolutionary new hosting platform that uses virtualization technology to instantly scale up or down, called USiPinnacle. At USi, we don't just push the envelope; we find innovative ways to create new ones.

 

Think you have an idea for the next new envelope? Let's talk!

 

2. Red tape annoys us

 

Today's world is full of red tape that keeps people from accomplishing what they set out to do. We find this frustrating—and downright annoying. USi avoids red tape—instead allowing room for ideas to thrive while following the processes and procedures of a well-run business.

 

If you've got ideas to share, speak up, we're listening.

 

3. Our people are not just another cliché

 

With 950 employees on two continents, our people are our greatest strength. The number one reason people stay in jobs, research shows, is having friends at work—and more than a third of our employees have been here at least five years.

 

We know, all companies say they have the best people—so come see for yourself.

 

4. Fun—it's in the air

 

USi employees know how to have a good time. Sure, we work hard, but we have fun along the way—whether gathering at the coffee machine to debate the merits of Ohio State vs. Michigan's football team, or eating burgers on the lawn during a summer cookout, or whipping your opponents in a foosball tournament. If you're in our India locations, the buzz might be about cricket hero Kumble's unorthodox style or the latest office party.

 

Fun is important! Find out if our definition matches yours.

 

5. Our Core Values are real, not hype

 

Research shows that the best companies are built on positive values. Though many companies have a set of core values, they don't all live them and reinforce them in everyday activities. At USi, staff are measured in performance appraisals according to our four Core Values—Client First, Integrity, Teamwork, and Leadership. Managers model our values, we reward employees who exemplify them, and regular client surveys show our values' impact on customer satisfaction.

 

Thanks to our values, we're focused on what's important. How about you?

 

6. We love what we do

 

USi's history may span only a decade, but it reads like a John Grisham novel—from the heady dot-com days when we launched our company, to our tumble when the bubble burst, to our climb to solid footing and our acquisition by AT&T. Why have so many employees hung on for the ride? Passion. We love what we do and feel rewarded by seeing projects through.

 

USi is a place where your passion can shine.

 

7. We can be ourselves

 

We value differences because it sparks creativity and makes for an interesting, productive workforce. We respect who you are as a person—regardless of where you fall in our dynamic mix of cultures, expertise, and personalities.

 

Join us and find out how being yourself lets you do your very best work.

 

8. Communication is our black coffee

 

"Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee," Anne Morrow Lindbergh once said, "and just as hard to sleep after." Generating ideas and sharing them keeps us revved up and connected to each other.

 

Bring us your thoughts—and we'll listen.

 

9. We spell technology "S E R V I C E"

 

It's easy to get caught up in technology and "the next best thing," but as our CEO, Andy Stern, reminds us, "We are a service business. And service is delivered by people, not machines." No matter how cutting-edge our technology is, USi's value is not so much in tangible products but in how we meet our client's needs.

 

Are you ready to be part of a service-oriented team?
