When Cambridge Computer was founded in 1991, Jacob and Deena were in their early 20s, so they inherently believed that natural abilities and hard work were valid substitutes for age and experience. They learned by trial and error when the stakes were high, and relied on self-teaching, teamwork, logic, and lots of hard work.

Today, the company has a nationwide (and occasionally, worldwide) reach and a stellar reputation. We have a who’s who of customers spanning virtually every industry. We built a stable and successful company, so we’re not afraid to allow our employees as much responsibility as they can handle, regardless of age or experience. Our new recruits are given opportunities to develop their abilities and test their limits.

What We Offer

• Challenge
• Trial and error learning
• Responsibility, ownership, and leadership opportunities
• Variety

Challenge
A job that capitalizes on your skills and presents meaningful personal challenges. We believe in encouraging our employees to work on their weaknesses and new areas as well. For example, we hired a CS major with advanced coding skills, but encouraged him to develop the business skills that he wanted to develop instead of slating him into a programming job.

Trial and Error Learning
There is no better way to learn. We are not afraid to allow employees to make mistakes as long as they can handle the feedback and learn from their experiences. We emphasize learning by doing and hands-on experimentation over formal training. It is a more expensive and time-consuming way to learn, but one that quickly produces practical expertise.

Responsibility, Ownership, and Leadership Opportunities
Compared to “Corporate America,” CCS has relatively little hierarchy and the attendant politics and waste that go along with it. We have an approachable management team and a corresponding leadership structure based on a concept we call Dynamic Leadership. Each person in the company has special skills and experience in particular fields. Thus, each person is given areas of project ownership and unique responsibilities in those areas of expertise. Similarly, when a project is others' realm of expertise, they become the leader and other employees work under their direction. This allows everyone a chance to develop leadership skills, as well as project and people management experience. It also creates a healthy team atmosphere.

Variety
Few positions can offer you the variety that you will find at Cambridge Computer. We are a small entrepreneurial company, and thus, must all be flexible and diverse. Our whole company strategy is organized around leveraging our expertise in as many ways as possible. Our storage consultants work on projects that include anything from hands-on field work, training, project management, course development, and documentation to technical support and customer service.
