Our Culture

At Markon, we promote an entrepreneurial spirit and encourage all employees to grow and take initiative. Following are some key components of Markon culture.

Localized Decision-Making

Every client project is staffed with experienced Markon leaders who want to make a difference. This skilled, entrepreneurial talent is empowered to be flexible, work independently, and make decentralized decisions on site. Clients benefit from an agile process with faster, better-informed decision-making.

Reach-back Support

Markon employees offer and are encouraged to take advantage of peer and mentoring reach-back support. Markon employees share best practices, creating a bank of corporate knowledge capital. Clients benefit from a responsive culture that provides localized expertise with organization-wide resources and experience.

Markon’s driven talent with unique, advanced skill sets is motivated to work with the best of the best. By offering employees ongoing training and mentoring opportunities throughout their career, Markon ensures that the best of the best get even better. Clients benefit from energized, best-of-breed talent with cutting-edge skills.

Dynamic Organizational Structure

Markon’s structure optimally leverages the best skill sets to address the challenges at hand. Employees are empowered to take initiative not just on the client site, but also within Markon’s internal operations. Employees are involved in the direction of Markon’s future and expanded opportunities to advance their skill sets and their careers, resulting in an above average retention rate. Clients benefit from skilled talent that is intensely loyal from one project to the next, as well as a highly efficient operating organization.
