Expectations

I'm looking for a financially strong company with a healthy culture that puts employees and customers first. The company embraces a partnership approach with business and IT to deliver together on strategy and business goals. Ideally I'm looking for a company that is $500M - $2B where there is the opportunity to wear multiple hats, but I have also been successful in the large organizations.
