Ideas are welcomed and generated through brainstorming, informal meetings, and even hallway and coffee room conversations. The workload is significant, deadlines run tight, critical projects are always on the table, but everyone pulls together to "get it done" because they care. People are more than just co-workers at PGI and it's more than just another job here. It's a calling, it's a community, and it's a career.
