28. Chameleon Like Inc. (asi/44558), Gilroy, CA
Employees’ favorite perk: Chameleon Like workers cite flexible work hours as their top pick. The company’s friendly atmosphere is also an important asset: “Excellent camaraderie between employees, managers and the president – we’re one large family,” says Stephanie Esse, marketing and art director.
Tip for finding/retaining great staff: “One of the keys to finding good staffers is to focus on personality and culture rather than skillset. While we can train employees and teach them new skills, it’s a challenge to change someone’s personality or attitude,” Esse says. “Once they’re on board, we put in a lot of effort to grow our people through training, coaching and emphasizing teamwork. We try to balance hard and smart work with some fun bonding activities.”
Company culture mantra: “Work hard, work smart, have fun doing so and the days will go by so fast! Is it time for the holiday party already?” asks Pierre Martichoux, president of Chameleon Like.
