Careers - BASES Corporate Culture

For those who enjoy athletic pursuits, many BASES employees participate in intramural sports, including soccer, volleyball, football, and basketball. Several offices are also located within walking distance of a fitness center.

The working environment of BASES is comfortable and informal; dress is business casual as a general rule.

People are our most valuable asset, and we are committed to their ongoing professional development. Both internal experts and external vendors provide training, depending on individual needs so that BASES professionals can grow in their careers and in the value that they bring to our clients every day.

BASES is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

BASES has a unique corporate culture that has contributed to the company’s significant success over the years and is very influential in the daily activities of the company. Highlighted below are a few reasons that make BASES a professionally and personally rewarding place to work.

	Outstanding people: our principal asset. Without question, our people are what has made our organization successful and what will continue to drive our success for the future.
	Integrity and honesty “Always do the right thing” has always been a central principle at BASES, and is crucial to our commitment to and reliance on high quality data, accurate models, and dynamic databases. Integrity, honesty and ethical behavior are expected and rewarded at all levels within the organization, whether concerning client issues or internal matters that impact employees.
	Ongoing learning and innovation We are proud to say that BASES offers one of the most comprehensive global training programs in the industry. Employees benefit from numerous internal training course opportunities scheduled on a regular, ongoing basis. We offer both classroom and virtual classroom training sessions to all of our employees worldwide. In addition to our job-specific course curriculum we offer soft skills courses, self-paced tutorials, and host a complete library of other self-directed training materials and resource guides. If you need information on non-BASES specific software or business topics we'll send you to the industry experts to get trained and bring your knowledge back to share with the rest of the BASES team. By helping our employees succeed, we help our clients succeed.
	Individual impact Every individual at BASES makes a difference. From everyday time savers to valuable marketing insights, employees’ suggestions are valued and often adapted company-wide. The “Circle of Excellence” program provides the opportunity to recognize and reward individual contributions at every level of the organization.
	Growth brings opportunity As an organization we are healthy, growing, and hiring, and career opportunities for enthusiastic and motivated professionals abound. Our revenues and our staff have approximately doubled every five years since the company’s beginning in 1977. We have aggressive plans for growth as we continue our global expansion and maintain our role as the leader in our industry.
	Entrepreneurial spirit We believe that by giving smart, talented managers the tools and freedom to think outside of the box, our organization becomes stronger, more innovative, and more responsive. Our management group and their teams move nimbly to anticipate change, adapt to it and move the company forward.
	Positive, progressive, and fun work environment Don’t misunderstand—a lot of hard work is involved in everyday life at BASES. However, casual work attire and open, informal interchange across different levels of management is the norm here. Additionally, volunteering opportunities, intramural sports teams, and a variety of social events throughout the year contribute a great deal to our employees’ total experience and to the overall success of our business.

The culture of BASES encourages a free and frequent exchange of ideas and a collaborative spirit. An open door management style invites suggestions at all levels and allows for interactive dialogue to the benefit of both the company and its employees.

BASES supports employees who wish to be involved in community service, and offers many ways to "give back" to the community through organizations like United Way, the Fine Arts Fund, and the Red Cross. Some groups of employees elect to seek out additional opportunities to volunteer, such as tutoring students at a nearby elementary school or building a house through the Habitat for Humanity.

All employees are invited (but not required) to participate in many informal and fun company- sponsored events. One highlight is the Halloween celebration, in which each department chooses a theme and decorates its area accordingly. While it’s not business-as-usual, it’s a great creative team-builder and a lot of fun!
