What makes it so great?
"I felt that the culture here was supportive of creative thinking. It's not that you have a unique path, it's that there are all these unique paths. [One colleague] was a professional poker player. My counselor was a documentary film maker before she came here. My background is in the nonprofit world. I started this job as a big experiment, I didn't have a corporate background or a business background. In the year that I've been here I've seen that the long term career options are not hindered by that prospect but rather enhanced by it."
-- Neil Alger, 2009 graduate of the Yale School of Management
