Back to cultureFrom day one, Cognition has designed it’s benefits to support the needs of employees. Located in the Ballard Brewery District (Seattle), our office is designed and built for a highly creative and collaborative environment.
With a focus on ensuring robust benefits, we offer generous leave to ensure mindful respites throughout the year, and premium medical/dental/vision.
Our HR team at OneDigital has been with us for over 10 years, crafting a professional practice that is supported with professional development, performance management and perks programs.
Work in a consultancy/agency hybrid business model can be mentally complex, agile, and fast paced. We put harmony into practice by focusing on the mission of the work, and design our operating model to achieve success.
We give our team focused structure during the business work day (8:30am-5pm) to be productive, and to plug off when the work is done to maintain equal focus on their personal lives. This is an intentional practice supported by a reasonable focus on billable % combined with expert teams (pods) and strong project + account management support.
