The Northwoods Culture

With a relaxed environment, fresh hot popcorn, and the obligatory ping pong and foosball tables, we enjoy the amenities expected from a cutting-edge tech and digital marketing company. But that’s not what makes us love our jobs – it’s the people and the work that makes Northwoods great:

• We learn something new each day. From Fortune 500 companies to industrial manufacturers to local non-profits, we work on a wide variety of projects. The diversity of our clients and our commitment to forward-looking technologies and strategies means we’re constantly engaged and learning new things.
• We trust and value each other. Ego has no place at Northwoods (our president sits in a cubicle like the rest of us), and we don’t focus on titles. When any one of us has an idea, solution, or criticism, we know we can voice it openly and honestly – and we listen respectfully when our colleagues do the same.
• We hire people, not skillsets. We don’t just find people familiar with specific tools or technologies; we look for motivated self-starters who know how to learn and are eager to grow. We hire the best and brightest – leaders, team players, and creative problem solvers – and give everyone the opportunity to make the most of their unique talents.
• Our families come first. We have a strong work ethic and commitment to our clients, but we also have busy lives. Sometimes we work from home, sometimes we choose to work odd hours, and sometimes we bring our kids or dogs (or both!) into the office. Each of us gets to decide for ourselves what the ideal work-life balance looks like.
• We work where it makes sense. Some work primarily from home, some mostly in the office, and others do a mix.
• We each grow in our own way. As our interests change and career goals evolve, so do our roles with our clients and within the company. We all find new boundaries to push; Northwoods gives each of us the latitude and freedom to pursue our passions and create our own career story.
• We’re driven to constantly do our best. And Northwoods provides an environment that allows us all to do exactly that.
• We embrace diversity. At Northwoods we believe that diversity, equality and inclusion are some of our biggest strengths. Here, our definition of diversity is broad and includes race, gender, LGBTQ+ status, disability, age, socio-economic status, parental and caregiver status, and more. We believe it’s everyone’s job to embrace diversity in order to fuel innovation and growth. We want all team members to have a seat at the table and a voice that’s heard.

Our unique culture is one of the many reasons we've been (proudly!) recognized as one of Milwaukee's Best Places to Work by the Milwaukee Business Journal in 2019, 2020 and 2021!
