From early interactions with the firm I noticed it was different than what I was used to. I learned quickly that MOA values their firm culture and is proud to share it. I was most impressed when I noticed how my coworkers were entrusted by the firm leadership to do their best work, the motivation and pride that comes from that trust is palpable. Interacting with the many employees, who seem excited and interested in the quality of their work, showed me that output was not the only goal of the firm and there is a heavy focus on relationship building, communication, and comfortability. In my early days with MOA, I was looking forward to working on important projects that have a positive impact on the environment around us. After 10 months with the firm my understanding from those early impressions still holds strong. The projects I have been a part of, whether it is the much needed school renovations or The Stanley Hotel expansion, have only added to the positive experience I have had this far.
