Summa
Pittsburgh, PA (March 21, 2007) - Summa, a provider of IT consulting and software solutions that improve business performance, was recognized by The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as one of the best places to work in Pittsburgh. Summa was ranked third on the list of Top 50 Best Places to Work with Under 50 employees.
"Summa is committed to providing a great work experience for our employees", said Audrey Dunning, Chief Executive Officer of Summa. "We strive to maintain a balance in our culture of providing work that is challenging for our employees, while also encouraging work-life balance. We are thrilled to be recognized as one of the top places to work in Pittsburgh."
The rankings were determined by employee votes, rating their companies on 10 characteristics, ranging from family-friendly policies and flexible hours to pay and benefits. Summa was recognized in the article for its stimulating work and supportive work environment, as well as for the recreational activities provided by the company.
Jeff Howell, Senior Technical Consultant for Summa, shared his thoughts. "I have been working in technology companies in Pittsburgh for 30-plus years (six at Summa). Summa's attitudes and policies are arranged so that everyone's interests are served - not just the people at the top. After working for seven companies and consulting in a dozen more, Summa is unique in my mind for the respect paid to its members. And that is all I ever aspired to - being able to do meaningful, interesting work and to be appreciated for it. I am in the minority among IT workers; I'm not looking for my next job."
Summa is expanding its team and is looking for highly skilled information technology professionals who want to pursue a consulting career. For more information on career opportunities at Summa, visit www.summa-tech.com/careers.
