Sikich
- Professional Services
- Chicago, IL, US
What employees are saying
I think there is a general welcoming nature about Sikich that really helps establish a team feeling within the company, especially for the 100% remote workforce. My team is geographically split and most team members work almost exclusively from home. However, I feel given the open nature of our team, which I believe the Sikich culture cultivates, that I have been able to get to know the team much better than other remote work environments I've participated in.

The culture here is incredible. I felt welcomed, I was comfortable reaching out with questions and personal concerns.

I came back from a trip for funeral services to a delivery of flowers, and soon after received a welcome package from Q-Centrix with gifts.
