Mental Health: “The wellness room at our new office sets Hatcher apart. If you’re having a tough day personally or need a moment to meditate before a client presentation, we have a private, comfortable place to relax.” —Goodall

Office Layout: “Our new space, right near the Bethesda Metro station, is bright, open and functional. There’s a nice mix of private offices that we can reserve for the day, several different conference rooms to choose from, lounge areas, and a range of open-concept desk options. We are high up enough on the 10th floor that from certain spots you can see both the Latter-day Saints temple and the National Cathedral.” —Michael Mershon, senior vice president

Office Culture: The company hosts lots of virtual lunches and happy hours. Leadership carves out time for everyone to get to know each other better.
