Chi Chi Chatterjee started as a contractor at C Spire in 2006, and while he briefly left for four months, he returned to the company in part because of the culture. Chatterjee now leads the customer experience applications team. “I remember it was October 1 because the State Fair was on. I was driving past, and every time the State Fair comes, I know that another year has passed in Mississippi,” said Chatterjee. Chatterjee has worked for some of the biggest names in the telecommunications and technology sector, but shares he never felt empowered there. “Whatever anyone does at C Spire makes a major contribution here,” said Chatterjee. “We work very hard; we achieve a lot, and we make a difference. At C Spire, you are not a small cog in the wheel.” Chi Chi’s management style is to hire the best and the brightest. He ensures their success by making sure there is nothing blocking them from doing their work and thriving. “I’m proud of my guys,” said Chatterjee. “Success flows downwards. If something is right, it’s been done by the team, and if something is wrong, it stops with me.” His advice for those interested in joining C Spire, “If you are looking for a team culture and a sense of achievement at the end of the day, this is the place for you. Many of my colleagues that I started my journey with are still with C Spire today.” Chatterjee praises C Spire’s team culture and shares it is where you can find people who are like you.

A friend recommended Base Camp Coding Academy, C Spire’s partner in raising the profile of coding in Mississippi. While at Base Camp Coding Academy, Loveleen earned an internship at C Spire, working with the web development team. C Spire is a community full of ‘helpers,’ and her new team was no different. Everyone looks for ways to turn around and help the people around them. And when you’re a 19-year-old at her first job, having that type of support system in place made an impact. What do you do as a coding intern when you’re faced with a coding error? Keep going. From working on small ticket items to bigger projects, Loveleen keeps going and growing. Finding a compan
