Most companies will say that they have a strong set of values. But at Titan, management makes an extra effort to live the mission. As a result, the company doesn't just develop its workforce through training, but uses a suite of growth opportunities.
For example, employees early in their careers go through what the company calls the "Career Pre-heater," a one-year program that features 432 hours of training on technological and leadership skills, as well as counseling on how professionals should behave.
"We have a very strongly articulated value system," says CEO Dimitri Papalexopoulos, "which we use as a basis for evaluating not only people but also the way we do business in our day to day operation."
