Culture

Our performance for our clients reflects the performance of our people.

Even as Ximedica has grown over two decades, our culture has stayed true to the company's origins: that of a tight-knit group of colleagues, passionate about innovating and creating great products. We operate our business as a place where everyone understands that they share responsibility for success. Where accountability is never at odds with encouraging bold new ideas. Where values and integrity mean more than just platitudes on a corporate mission statement.

We communicate openly and directly, with each other and with clients. Unforseen challenges are likely to arise in any new product development program, so when they do, we acknowledge them quickly and get on with solving them. Taking action always trumps taking more time.

Our collaborative culture is embodied by the open floor plan of our offices. We are devoid of departmental boundaries, high walls, and other barriers to open dialog and spontaneous sharing of ideas. Instead, wall space often serves to display research imagery, sketches, schedules, and other visual artifacts where they can be discussed and built upon by peers in true charette style. In addition, our private client workspaces are invaluable for mutual collaboration and total immersion into the innovation process.

And while our culture is tight-knit, it is not isolated. Ximedica supports its professional and local communities on many levels. We take active roles in many industry, professional development, and civic organizations, and support numerous causes through charitable giving. Most importantly, we encourage all employees to give back to their own communities however they choose, and support them in doing so.
