REI Systems reviews

The REI Systems story began with a few bright, young friends who decided to start their own business in the 1980s. By 2011, their headcount was 400+. Their story is one of success through hard work and careful growth. Many of REI Systems employees have crossed an ocean to have a chance at such a dream. They come from India, Pakistan, Poland, Turkey, Africa, Japan, and China just to name a few. In 2011 REI Systems employee population comprised of 25+ nationalities. The diversity is celebrated with multicultural events, such as the International pot luck. REI Systems also recruits young talent from universities both within and outside the D.C. Metro Area. There is a culture that encourages learning and striving for personal and professional excellence. Many employees take part in after work activities such as running clubs and team sports. There is always a tremendous show of support whenever there is a fundraiser for disaster aid, a blood drive, or when a fellow employee in a time of need. REI Systems has a warmth and energy that is hard to find in many other IT companies. I believe this is the reason why so many employees stay with REI Systems, and why some familiar faces return.

• My experience with REI has been very rewarding. Being an open source guy I was looking for a company where can I really help make an impact. I definitely think I have joined the right place. • They are the pioneers in introducing open source technology in federal government. The work we did on many high traffic, high visibility Government websites have been replicated across the globe and in state government sites as well. • I get a lot of job satisfaction here - when millions of users access web sites you built, and when you can see you are making a real impact on how the government runs, it gives a very creative satisfaction to me as a developer and forces me to develop even more great products! • Proud to say that my team in REI developed and operates 3 of the top 10 Open Government Web Sites. These are Data.gov, IT Dashboard and USAspending.gov (Per Information week, 2012 Jan - http://www.informationweek.com/government/information-management/top-10-open-government-websites/232500442) • My team has many highly energetic and enthusiastic folks who have real out of box thinking and innovation in their blood. Some of the team-members are fantastic and I have so much fun working with them.
