I’ve worked at ViTrue for a week now, and I love it. It’s the perfect environment, as everyone is smart, friendly, and invested in the project. There’s a huge emphasis on teamwork, and everyone is willing to help me figure stuff out. Being the new guy, that’s really great.

Working together

We all get together every day in a window-enclosed meeting room. It has been set aside specifically for the developers to work in. Questions get answered instantly, plus it’s easy to organize a lunch run whenever noon rolls around.

Food!

My first day on the job, they took me out to lunch. Plus, since we’re downtown, we have access to tons of great restaurants. A two block walk gets us to Broad Street, which is pedestrian friendly, and lined on both sides with tiny restaurants with outdoor seating. We can have a relaxing sit down lunch and be back in the office in less than an hour.

Oh, and did I mention, we get free snacks? It’s kind of junk-foody right now, but a few of us have petitioned for fruit and other health-nut stuff. We’ll see where that goes.

Chips, ramen, fruit-bars, and pop tarts – just what every programmer needs to keep going.

Party time Friday

Since it was a crazy successful month (all thanks due to the other developers, not me…), we celebrated by taking the afternoon off on Friday. A couple beers and some Rock Band, and you’ve got a guaranteed good time.

Rock Bank players always have the look of intense concentration.

Paulo swore off Rock Band after a few games. He’d rather play some UT2k4.
