Culture at ClarkstonOur People

Shatakshi Shekhar
“When working at Clarkston your team becomes your family regardless of how long the project is. It could be 2 weeks or 2 years, but you will feel at home. That’s what makes it fun for me to go to work every day.”

Jim Dougherty
“One thing that sets us apart from other firms is how close we are, both professionally and personally. On a professional level, we do not hesitate to reach out to each other for insight, knowledge, or simply confirmation of a pending decision. On a personal level, I think of our company meetings, where I not only look forward to catching up with Clarkston colleagues, and in some cases, their families.”

Maggie Seeds
“It’s built into our culture at Clarkston that you can take on anything that you’re passionate about and people from all levels, from Bootcampers to executive leadership, will help you reach your goals. If you’re passionate about something, speak up and let it be known.”
