They recognized a need for rapidly generated solutions to leverage the value in unstructured data. But unlike most tech companies, those original co-founders continue to be directly involved in the daily operations of the company as CEO, R&amp;D Lead and VP Customer Success. They&rsquo;ve built Adlib on three pillars of strength that continue to measure our success:</p> <ol> <li>Product innovation. We&rsquo;re building solutions to client document and data management problems, organically and strategically.</li> <li>Customer relationships. We truly have a dedicated focus on creating a positive customer experience that stands out from everyone else.</li> <li>Engaged and passionate teams. That&rsquo;s the most important to us!</li> </ol> <p>While we focus on our three pillars of strength, we live and breathe our values.</p> <ul> <li>We strive to be the best place to work <ul> <li>We are a team &ndash; professional, not house league</li> <li>We have a shared goal &ndash; to win</li> <li>We have high expectations and pull our own weight</li> </ul> </li> <li>We manage our high performance players better than other teams <ul> <li>We are changing the game</li> <li>We are *the* best at solving customer&rsquo;s problems</li> <li>We&rsquo;re creating new best practices</li> </ul> </li> <li>We are on a kick-ass global adventure together <ul> <li>We make decisions with the destination and team in mind</li> <li>We&rsquo;re prepared for the unpredictable &ndash; changes and detours</li> <li>We&rsquo;re going to have fun</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Our employees tell us we excel at transparency and work-life balance. And while those may be buzzwords used to attract attention, we actually live them. How do we know this? A significant portion of our team has been here for longer than 10 years. In the tech industry, that&rsquo;s rare. We also have people who come back to us because they miss the culture, opportunity for growth and our team spirit.</p> <p>But, having said that, we aren&rsquo;t perfect at everything. We&rsquo;re continuously working on change management. We don&rsquo;t have all of the processes nailed down that we&rsquo;d like to, but that means that this is the place to get in at the next stage of evolution and be part of a growing team on multiple levels.</p> <p>Adlib Software is revolutionizing the way organizations think about their content - join us to be part of that change.
