2024 Company Weekend Celebration
At Atlantic BT, there has always been a well-loved tradition of shared experiences. From competing against each other to create the best Spaghetti Bridge, to chunking pumpkins with a giant trebuchet, we have always loved spending time together and getting to know our coworkers on a deeper level “outside the office”. It often sounds cliché or like a cheap marketing term when a company says that they are “one big family”, but with ABT it truly does feel that way.
During the 2020 global pandemic, ABT made the shift to go fully remote, a shift that has been for the betterment of the company. The only tricky part was, how do we sustain the rich culture that has been a cornerstone of our company for so many years? The answer is, in true ABT fashion, we adapt. From in person events, we go to virtual, hosting trivia, online escape rooms, and jackbox game competitions. When it was once safe again, we reintroduced company lunches and in-person events. One of the biggest things we introduced was our yearly “Company Get-Together”.
For this year’s Company Get-Together, we decided on three separate events to appeal to three different parts of our culture. Friday night was a casual hangout where we spent time with both new and old ABT’ers. This event turned out to be for many people the most special one of the weekend, talking with people who have been a part of ABT’s crew from the start, getting to swap old stories, and introduce newer employees to people they’ve only known from code logs. Saturday, we tapped into the competitive spirit of ABT with a downtown Raleigh scavenger hunt, hosted by Search in the City. After some questionable shenanigans, Team Videogames managed to grab first, securing their second scavenger hunt win! The weekend concluded with a dinner at Sitti, where we met as a company to celebrate the year and all of our accomplishments. It was truly the perfect weekend!
At Atlantic BT, strong company culture is one of the reasons we thrive as a company. When you build strong relationships with those you work with, communication is seamless, employees want to show up to work and do their best, and client work becomes a breeze when you have teammates you can trust and rely on. While things like trash talking a coworker over their Mario Kart game can seem silly, really you’re creating positive memories that will form lifelong friendships.
