Random-annual Cultural Enrichment Voyage, Version Two

At NeoPangea, we firmly believe in the old adage, "Work hard, play hard." — generally with both happening at once. The stresses of working on a close-knit team in a competitive industry such as ours can take their toll without the occasional foray into unmitigated fun. While our day-to-day stress release valves may take the forms of randomly blasting each other with Nerf guns or wagers that result in the loser cross-dressing in the office for a day, we like to take it to Another Level every so often.

By "Another Level," we mean an international excursion. When the time comes, adventurous NeoPangeans rally together and set forth on a company-sponsored grand adventure, the location of which is known only to our illustrious leader. Participants receive only the vaguest instructions about what to bring with them for several days of joyous mayhem, but no other clues that might reveal the group's destination. Only when the journey begins will the group learn what lies before them; the mystery of it all is part of the fun. Last time our heroes awoke to tropical birds chirping and the peaks of Mayan Ruins filling the windows of their questionable "vehicle".

While the main goal of this sojourn is not just to reward the outstanding professionals who continue to make NeoPangea a respected creative powerhouse, but to plan the direction of research, business goals, and new technology for the coming years. The size of our team enables us to stay nimble and to collaborate in ways that simply aren't possible in larger organizations, but that sort of intimacy requires a great deal of trust. Shared experiences like our Random-Annual Cultural Enrichment Voyage help us all to get to know each other beyond our professional specialties and to strengthen the bonds of friendship and trust that make the NeoPangea Society so very special.

Although we must politely remind you that this trip is for NeoPangea Society members only, we invite you to read this year's invitation below. If you would like to join us for next year's excursion, we suggest that you review our available career openings on our Lab page, make the best career decision of your life, and apply for membership in the NeoPangea Society!
