Job description
“In a 2011 Harvard Business Review article, Nilofer Merchant wrote “Culture Trumps Strategy, Every Time”. Absorb’s success is living proof of the importance of a positive work culture in driving a company’s success. Everyone at Absorb is polite, supportive, and professional. Jerks don't remain here long, which keeps morale high. This positive culture has kept me at Absorb for more than 11 years. I still look forward to going to work every day.” - Richard Nantel, VP, Enterprise Learning Solutions
