How We Work
Art & Logic’s business model is based on building long-term relationships with our clients. We pride ourselves on superior project management, tenacity in attending to details, and ability to learn new technologies quickly.
We favor lightweight methodologies and simple processes, but we are not afraid of the word “formal.” We believe that we can be formal and flexible at the same time.
We allow our programmers as much freedom as possible in selecting their work hours, but in general we aim for some variation of 9am to 5pm (relative to each person’s local time zone), Monday through Friday. Some people like to start their day earlier or later (and a few of us love the late-night debugging sessions!) but we do need enough overlap in our schedules to work successfully as a team.
Many candidates are interested to know how A&Lers can work together when various team members are so far apart. Of course we use email and telephone frequently, but our primary communication and workgroup tool is the Art & Logic Collaboration Server. This online work environment allows us to interact in real time and stores all work-related communications. There’s even a section dedicated to social discussions; topics range from books and movies to foreign languages and the latest tech-gadgets.
We’re not afraid of having face-to-face meetings when they are necessary, but such meetings are surprisingly rare. This is partly due to the excellent written and verbal communication skills that we seek in all candidates.
The Art & Logic annual meeting happens every spring. All staff are invited to join together in Southern California for several days of socializing and meetings.

“If I were to sit down and design the ideal company to work at, I would
end up with what we’ve already got at Art & Logic -- we hire the smartest,
most talented people we can find and let them work on monumentally interesting projects
for world-class clients in a supportive Dilbert-free environment. Being able to do all
this without needing to leave the house is gravy.
