On December 14th, OCE held its annual staff holiday party at the Waybury Inn, just down the street from its headquarters and East Middlebury office. The Inn staff prepared a succulent meal, and everyone had a great time after a particularly busy year.
Principal Engineer Robert M. Clark, P.E. always looks forward to the holiday party and had this to say: “We have a summer and winter party with our staff every year, and while I love hanging out on the lake with my colleagues in the summer, the holiday party is a great capstone to the year. As everyone brings a plus one, it’s a great opportunity to get to really sit down with staff spouses and family members and get to know everyone a little better. We do a Yankee swap every year with gift cards from local businesses, and I ended up trading mine a few times to make sure everyone got something they liked! With so many people working remotely, this was also one of the few times everyone was in the same room, so it was a rare chance to get a staff photo!”
Alongside company outings, OCE offers its employees competitive salaries and robust benefits packages, including profit sharing, in-house and external training opportunities, and a hybrid remote/office workplace environment.
