Atomic Object's Culture

Atomic's Values

Atoms come from a variety of backgrounds, beliefs, and ways of looking at the world. And despite what you’ve heard about software makers, we don’t all like video games and craft beer. Instead, we share six values that form the foundation of everything we do at Atomic Object.

Give a Shit

Atoms don’t do things halfway. We fully invest ourselves in our work, relationships, and communities. Because if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing extremely well.

The team was focused, dedicated, and had genuine interest in what we’re doing. They cared about the project, and that came through in their zeal. They took the time to truly understand what we were trying to accomplish and delivered a great product. Jim Nicolette, Van Andel Education Inst.

Atomic doesn’t just "do as ordered." They actively engage in finding the best solution, and we have learned to trust their expertise. Marina Ferguson, Covenant Retirement Communities

Think Long Term

We want to create the right thing the first time, and have it still be meeting needs for years to come. That means thinking and planning ahead, on projects and internally.

Own It

We take responsibility for the success of everything we do—from the products we create to this company we’re building. At Atomic, there’s no such thing as “not my problem.”

The Atomic team doesn't just develop your software—they live in your world, trying to steep themselves in the problem you’re trying to solve. They feel like they’re part of your team, a natural extension of who you are and what you’re trying to do. Jason Pasatta, OAISD

Teach and Learn

Software moves fast, so we’re always learning and honing our craft. And we intentionally spread it around, so everyone at Atomic gets smarter. We call it the Atomic Brain Trust.

Because we learn from each other, clients have access to the experience of all 40 highly-skilled consultants, not just the 2 or 4 Atoms assigned to their product team. Brittany Hunter, Atomic Object

The management and budget approach—with weekly meetings, iterations, and story points—was very much appreciated. I don’t think there were any surprises along the way. We knew exactly where everything was. Doug Dietsch, Eaton

Act Transparently

We're accountable to our clients and each other. That means being open even when things aren't going smoothly. It's just the right thing to do.

Diversity

Atomic is a place of of respect, support, and friendship—where every person can be their genuine self. We’re working hard to build a diverse and inclusive team and to create rewarding careers for all of our employees.
