  Is Pivotree Right for You?
  You thrive in a degree of chaos over molasses bureaucracy. You like to “own something” and run with it. You speak your mind about an idea or challenge without being concerned if you are at the right “level” in the hierarchy or whether you have “enough years with the company”. You want to call the CEO by his first name “Bill”. You want to work for a company that trusts you –not a company mandated “one size fits all”. You want to work in a collaborative team environment where silos exist but are easy to step over (or smash with your foot). Apply today if interested.We have many of the major benefits that you would expect of a company that is growing rapidly and takes care of its employees. We are not going to waste space by listing them here individually as if the longest list will win your interest in this position. We know you have choices. If you are looking for that specific company benefit providing free weekly dog, cat, or lizard grooming and nail trimming, we kindly ask that you consider applying somewhere else.
