Hear From Our Veteran AnaVators
I was initially attracted to AnaVation though my research, which highlighted its reputation for being one of the top places to work by the Washington Post. What truly set AnaVation apart, is the company’s Mission, Vision and Core Values which directly align with the Army values. AnaVation’s veteran friendly initiatives, opportunities for growth, and organizational values were a few of the things that made joining the AnaVation team an easy decision for me after 20 years of military service. AnaVation’s organizational culture and processes played a pivotal role in easing my transition from military life. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to work with such a thoughtful and inclusive company.
Keith BrelandI was attracted to AnaVation due to their overall mission, especially support to our Defense partners, and its strong reputation as a well rounded company that takes care of it’s employees. My skills and experience with the military set me up for my role of managing people, understanding the broad military mission and capabilities, and being adaptable to different types of situations. Now I am no longer active duty, but serve in the Marine Corps Reserves, working at AnaVation has allowed me to balance my full time job while continuing to serve my country. This company is extremely supportive of this continued service through it’s policies and overall team mentality, as well providing resources for said service. AnaVation emphasizes work-life balance and taking care of its employees and their families and this is further shone through the support it provides for veterans and service members.
Corey EglerAfter retiring from the Army after 29 years of service, I knew that it was critically important for me to be a part of an organization that felt like family, was committed to the well-being of each of its employees; that focused on the security of this nation and preserving its way of life, and valued the culture that I had spent the better part of my adult life immersed in – AnaVation is that company. I knew that from my very first Google search of AnaVation and the first words that appear are “AnaVators… our most important asset and their outstanding character is paramount.” I knew this from my very first conversations with the leadership of the company and I still know this to be true today. AnaVation is an excellent company for Service members transitioning from the military who are used to a way of life that promotes excellence, incentivizes learning, and endorses selfless commitment and dedication to a team – AnaVation is a great destination on my professional AND personal journey.
