What we love about MATC

I love working for a company that genuinely cares for me, and that recognizes and values me as an individual. I’ve never felt so safe and respected as an employee before MATC. —Ed
Working at MATC Group has been one of my favorite jobs as an ID. Everyone feels like my best friend on the team and I never feel like I’m alone in what I’m doing, especially when I’m stuck on something. Someone, whether another ID, a tech writer, or a PM — someone is always a video call away to help. I love the variety of work and I love that regardless of the project I’m working on, I’m learning how to do something new, or how to think about things from multiple perspectives. —Liz L
