What We Offer

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Corner Alliance encourages its team members to continually learn, grow and develop. Within your first 90 days, you will discover your mission and we will support you in accomplishing it. Some people have chosen a mission oriented toward doing meaningful client work, for others it’s about mentoring their team and for some it’s gaining new skills. Whatever yours is, we’re in it with you. We provide regular check-ins which includes professional development goal setting and accountability toward making sure you are working on things that will lead to accomplishing your mission and/or feeling fulfilled by it. 

We encourage employees and their performance managers to discuss the best ways for them to learn which can be through our learning Slack channel, our All Hands Learning Moments, knowledge sharing groups, books (our CEO will often reference books he’s reading and encourage us to read it as well and get reimbursed for it), our formal Corner Alliance Way training that takes place throughout the year, on-the-job training, or external trainings / seminars / workshops and certification opportunities.

COMMUNICATION, SOCIAL EVENTS & TEAM BUILDING

We strive to keep our team members informed on what is happening in our company. We want to make sure that no matter whether you work in our office, onsite at a client, or remotely, you feel our culture and are in the know. We communicate in a variety of ways including Slack, email newsletters from the CEO, All Hands video calls with updates on corporate goals, initiatives, projects, and time for shared learning through our Learning Moment and a time for recognizing great work. We love the way we interact throughout the year but perhaps the most favorite time of year is when we get together for our Annual All Hands Meeting. When safe to do so, we fly everyone into DC for a day to share more detail on the company strategy, an opportunity for in person team building, and a fun social event out!

COMMUNITY TEAM 

Corner Alliance surveys its employees to get a pulse on employee engagement and provide recommendations to increase engagement (some have included a wellness Slack channel, creating communities of practice and providing more clarity between our review process and our Career Model to guide promotion discussions). We also have a Community Team that plans social events, volunteer activities and health/wellness initiatives (we’ve had a Guac Off (a guacamole making and tasting competition), volunteered at the Anacostia Watershed Society in DC, and have participated in a stair climb and plank challenge).

COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, BELONGING & EQUITY

We believe it is important to have a diverse company that reflects the world around us, and we know that having a variety of perspectives is not just good for us, but allows us to deliver more effectively to our clients and their stakeholders. Corner Alliance is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate against candidates or employees based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual orientation), national origin, age, disability, genetic information or any other basis covered by applicable law. Through our Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging and Equity Team, we are working on making ourselves more representative of the community and country in which we live, creating an environment in which inclusion is a priority and ultimately cultivating a sense of belonging so that everyone can bring their authentic selves to work where they can thrive.

RECOGNITION & REWARDS

We love recognizing our people for great work! We have a dedicated Slack channel for recognition and give others kudos during our All Hands video calls. We have several other ways we celebrate others: 

  • We have awards for when employees work on projects that provide overarching company impact

  • We offer spot bonuses for above and beyond work at any time

  • We give employee referral bonuses because we believe some of our best hires come from our employees

  • We have a Career Model and opportunities for promotion

  • We have our bonus program based on your living out the company’s commitments and based on the company’s performance during that review period.
