Why work @ zed

Diversity can mean many different things to different people, but at zed it is about diversity in the projects you work on, the technologies you use and the services we offer. Our longstanding reputation in the IT industry means two things. We have the ability to pursue and win many cutting-edge projects for our teams. And as a result of our long-term relationships, our clients have confidence in our work and entrust us with some of their most important assignments. From one month assignments to multi-year projects, you will have the opportunity to continuously build on your skill sets.

zed has a very unique social culture. Building team spirit and collaboration doesn't just happen during office hours. We have an active social calendar, recognizing all the hard work of our employees each day, every day. Whether it's an official 'zed day' and employees are having a sports tournament, Guitar Hero competition, or Nerf gun war, or it's a company BBQ or night out at the movies to see the latest box office hit, we are having fun as a group. Many other companies do some of these activities because employees pay into a social fund. Not at zed. Here, this is just another example of how we give back to our employees, recognizing them for their drive, hard work, and dedication. At zed, work hard - play hard is a practice, not a slogan.

Using buzz phrases like 'foster and encourage innovation' are a common practice by companies, but zed actually puts meaning behind the phrase. Technology is constantly changing. As a leading IT consultancy, it is our job to be at the forefront of these changes for our clients. Our technical innovation gives us a competitive advantage and makes us a great place to work. At zed, you will not experience the 'we have always done it this way before' mentality. We value the past experiences that new employees bring to the table, as well as each new one at zed, encouraging ideas and knowledge share. Our team members are constantly discovering new technologies and developing tools that help us provide added value to clients.

At zed, having credibility with our employees is just as important as having credibility with our clients. The President's door is always open with regular communication with all employees about the company's direction and plans - actively soliciting their feedback and ideas. By doing this, our team keeps a clear focus. They understand the meaning of their work and how it contributes to zed's overall goals. As an IT company, we also have an extensive Intranet that encourages knowledge share on a daily basis. Employees are able to share everything from project ideas, lessons learned, and sample code to family pictures, personal and professional accomplishments, and social event announcements. Through our Intranet, resources are able to learn more about each other both personally and professionally, further building our cohesiveness as a team.

An overwhelming majority of zed employees are from this province, but have worked away and returned to Newfoundland by choice to work with zed. Returning with them and their families is a wealth of national and international experience working with industry leaders. This has provided a common bond amongst our employees and a sense of pride, being able to come home with a fresh perspective and valuable insight and expertise. When you work at zed, you get the unique opportunity to work alongside and learn from the varied experiences of some of the best and brightest in the IT industry.
