We have known for a long time that our culture is a huge asset to our organization but we were thrilled to hear that we had ranked as #5 on the Orange County Business Journal's list of Best Places to Work. This award is such an honor as it is created to identify, recognize and honor businesses in Orange County that are some of the best places to work, helping the county's economy, businesses and workforce. 


So, what REALLY makes Akins IT a great place to work? Just to name a few... 


1. We are a championship team, meaning that this is a great place to grow professionally and personally. Our team is set up where the leadership team acts as mentors to coach new team members along the way to make them an A player. We invest in outside training, certifications, courses, etc. to promote leadership and technical skills.


 2.We’re fun! We have team lunches & outings (examples- Day at Del Mar Horse Races, movies, lunches & dinners, etc.), happy hours at our office, a full bar & pool table in the office and an open floor plan to foster communication and collaboration.


3. Flexible work schedule. We focus on results and performance and aren’t interested in just having bodies in the office from 9-5.
