A little bit about Diverse Computing, Inc.
At Diverse Computing, we are passionate about our mission for delivering innovative IT solutions that improve the effectiveness and security of the public safety community. In other words, we create software that has a higher purpose than simply making a profit. That said, our company has been growing substantially over the past several years.
Imagine working for a company where you get to take ownership of your projects. Imagine having the opportunity to play a pivotal role with software that is designed to improve the safety for the public and law enforcement personnel. Imagine being in a cooperative, team-oriented environment where everyone truly has each other's back. Imagine working for a company that is invested in your career development as well as your quality of life outside the office. At Diverse Computing, these aren't just catch phrases... they are part of our everyday reality.
There are other aspects about Diverse Computing that make us an appealing place to work for. We are not a publicly-traded company, and as such, we are not beholden to the demands of shareholders or investors. We also are not a start-up company that could close shop if the next round of venture capital doesn't come through. We ARE a privately-held company with around 65 employees, and that smaller size allows us to be nimble and to make quick adjustments in a constantly-evolving technology field.
