genuine voices

One of my favorite things about GPC since joining is really seeing the culture. [It is] really important to the company to have community events and really just feel like a family overall. It is amazing to be such a global company, but it feels so small and tight knit. Everyone is approachable, [there are] company happy hours where you can just walk to the CEO and the Presidents, and it’s just so down to earth. [I’ve] never been at a place where people are so approachable.
Jennifer Wade Senior Manager – Engineering Payments

The prospect of joining a new team and helping grow from the ground up, that was very attractive to me. Working with technology such as React and Google Cloud [was] very attractive to me. I think it’s a great time to join GPC IT because GPC as a company is investing…their resources to be competitive, to be innovative, and they’re investing in new talent.
Jimmy Nguyen Software Engineer

They’re really pro-diversity in GPC. There’s so much to encourage people of different backgrounds, women especially. I’m involved in WIT, which is Women in Technology, [and we’re] really trying to enable women, lift women up, especially those that want tech careers. I’ve found that it’s a family atmosphere here. Nobody else who I work with on my project looks like me, comes from a similar background to me, and I love that.
Michelle Sollicito Principal Architect – Sales/Marketing

I have a lot of people ask me how I lead a team of engineers who are smarter than me. One of the things I love about…GPC is being humbled enough to be a small fish in a big pond and being surrounded by so many people who are so much smarter than me. The best thing I can do as [my team’s] engineering manager and their leader is just to get out of their way. That’s a lot of what I do here is I just get out of their way or I clear the way so they can innovate and be who they are.
Sam Russo Engineering Manager – Item Master

We are leveraging the latest and greatest tools to not only provide a one-stop solution, but [to create] an entire ecosystem [with] different mediums offering direction to our customers to help them do their job better than before. Anything we are doing, our customers are at the center from the start to the finish line, and this makes me feel entrusted and passionate about what I do, because at the end of the day, I am working on a solution that will have a global impact.
Farhan Nadeem Product Owner – Selling Systems

I work daily with very capable and amazing engineers that [are] focused on my growth as a software engineer and want me to succeed. I grow daily with the team and that is one of the reasons why I definitely recommend GPC. The work is very exciting … seeing your project[s] come to life and working with wonderful and amazing people to build upon it has been a really enjoyable experience.
