What characterizes us? Our focus on people!
We believe in the power of people to make extraordinary things happen. We invest in you and build your capabilities. We give you the right training, tools, freedom, and accountability so you can do what you do best.
From being persistent innovators to making high impact decisions, together we achieve what others classify as impossible.
We believe in a culture
of Ownership
We believe in ownership, freedom, and accountability in all that we do. Each of our talented people owns a certain area of business that s/he is passionate about and is responsible for its growth, while also being urged to contribute to other areas for the benefit of the team. Our collective intellect, thirst for excellence, and quest for constant improvements to raise the bar allow us to achieve more as a team than our individual counterparts.
We invest in
our People
Here at Cobblestone, our growth is not only defined by an increase in our profits or expansion in new markets, but by the growth of our team members. We like to invest in the development of our people and provide them with career advancement opportunities to fill positions internally. The opportunities we provide to grow personally and professionally in a collaborative environment directly contribute to our overarching vision of bringing together extraordinary people and achieving extraordinary feats.
We embrace
Differences
We don’t artificially manage and create a diverse and inclusive workplace. We just are. While our people come from more than 23 different nationalities, we don’t apply superficial labels to them. We see diversity as the broad range of life experiences, opinions, thought processes and unique set of perspectives we bring to every aspect of our business. We focus on talent and strong cultural compatibility, recognizing that this can come from anyone from anywhere.
At Cobblestone, we are committed to providing a working environment that fosters mental, social, and physical wellbeing. When you join us, you will embark on a rewarding journey with challenging work and exciting perks that will keep you hooked!
