Why Talented People Join Us

Why highly talented people join us...
And why you should too

The best want to work with the best
Our employees are our brand, so we’re incredibly picky about who we hire. Nobody goes looking for a spouse, a friend or a partner who’s a mere “8” out of “10”, so why would we hire one and why would you want to work with one? Everyone at Merkle is a "9" or "10" - period. We hire smart, talented people who want to do great work together – the best work of their careers. People who can do their job better than anyone else, and from whom we can learn something. People who are fun to be with and who we want to be like. Imagine working in a company where every person is described in those terms. That’s what we’ve built here. And that’s why you should join us. And there's one other thing you should know about Merkle. The best people don't put up with arrogant jerks; and neither do we. You won't find them here.

A rock-solid record of growth and success
Many companies throw all their attention and planning into improving profitability by becoming more efficient and reducing costs. While that kind of focus can be a legitimate business driver, we think growth is a better one. We’ve sustained more than 25% annual growth over the last 20 years! That kind of growth brings real opportunity for our employees. Opportunity to do more, learn more and grow in our career in ways we never thought possible.

A well-run company that you can be proud of
We’re intent on being a company we’re proud of. A place where exceptionally talented people want to be and where clients want to do business. A place that makes competitors both envious and nervous. And a place where each of us is excited to go to work each day. You won’t find a lot of frustrating rules, policies, and bureaucracy here. We don’t run our company that way. At Merkle, principles always trump rules, and our people are led by their managers, not controlled by them. No one here is chasing a share price at the expense of doing the right thing for our clients. But don’t just take our word for it. We’ve been recognized throughout the industry for innovation, for doing great work, and for being a top employer.

Great clients and interesting, challenging work
Looking for a platform to really showcase your skills with some of the best known brands in the world? Brands that make a difference? Brands that present really interesting and unique work challenges? Work that inspires you to do great things and go beyond what you've already accomplished? Work that counts? Every day our clients offer us these kinds of challenges - challenges that provide our employees with an incredible platform to showcase their skills.

The ability to make a noticeable difference
At some companies great work and great people can go unnoticed or unvalued. But at Merkle, business is personal. We’ve created a powerful community where everyone makes an important difference in the success of our company. Why is that? It’s the way we run our company, the culture we’ve built here and how we think about our people. It’s also because of our size and the type of clients we serve. We’re not some tiny, struggling start-up, working with any client who will hire us. Nor are we some huge conglomerate where nobody knows who you are or what you can do. Our people have a very unique opportunity to work with top-tier clients in a way where their contributions are not only recognized, they are vital to the success of the work.
