project manager – camp counselor – customer service representative
Of course Menlo’s project managers need to understand and communicate issues around scope,
schedule, and budget. However, success at Menlo comes from understanding what our clients are
afraid of but don’t know how to say, helping technical team members express their feelings
productively on a daily basis, and being able to effectively demo the products we build in
front of domain experts. Earning your PMP credentials is expected, but our focus is on soft
skills, soft skills, soft skills, critical thinking, and soft skills.

user experience designer – High Tech Anthropologist® - empath
Of course Menlo’s High-Tech Anthropologists® use best practices to
design easy to use software. However, success at Menlo is measured by the
users adopting the software and actually achieving the desired business goals,
and we focus on brainstorming and user testing to design user interfaces that
succeed. Understanding the latest HCI concepts is expected, but your success
will be based upon how well you and your peers succeed in devising intuitive
user interfaces and communicate them to sponsors and programmers alike.

software developer – perpetual student – mentor
Of course Menlo’s software developers take pride in their craft. However,
success as a software developer Menlo is based upon your ability to enhance the
skills and decisions of the entire team even while you are busy writing code.
Working towards professional certifications and learning new technologies is
expected, but your accomplishment will be measured by how many maintainable and
correct user features are completed by your peers. Teamwork is imperative.

quality assurance specialist – experiment designer - enabler
Of course Menlo’s quality assurance specialists test software. However,
success for quality assurance specialists at Menlo is measured by how often
software developers ask for your help while they write code and your ability
to collaborate with others in an environment of continuous interruptions.
Understanding black-box and white-box testing is expected, but your success
will be based on your ability to bring together a team and work through a
problem together.
