Our beer and wine fridge is always full
Doors are open – the owner and founder are as accessible as are the Senior partners
and co-workers
We are socially flat – everyone is on a first name basis and is accessible – we
do not have many “sirs” in our company
We do not Silo in the traditional sense – people are hired into groups, but employees
socialize outside that parameter – people are friends regardless if they are in
Sales or Delivery – we do not have glass walls in our office or in our relationships
with co-workers
We do not hire a$$holes
Community and Caring
Our commitment to our customer’s success extends to the community as a whole.
We are staunch capitalists at Ideaca, and have every intention of building a thriving, growing, profitable company.
However, we believe that companies that benefit from the community have a responsibility to share their success and give back to that community.
Ideaca will donate a percentage of profit to worthy causes, and undertake work on a “pro bono” basis.
In addition, we encourage our employees to take an active role in making their communities a better place.
We have built houses for Habitat for Humanity, grown moustaches for Movember and have wrapped gifts as part of our Adopt-a-Family program.

We strive to be strong corporate citizens, and we commit to operating in a way which benefits the regions in which we operate.
People count – we are about our co-workers and our employees and do our very best to limit employee turnover
