In 2025, something powerful happened at IT by Design.
It wasn’t a new policy.
It wasn’t a new framework.
It wasn’t even a new role or title.
It was a series of honest conversations.
Through Career & Culture Corner, voices from across ITBD came together to share something deeply human – what it truly feels like to grow, learn, fail, succeed, and belong inside a people-first organization. These weren’t scripted stories or polished soundbites. They were lived experiences. And together, they revealed what makes IT by Design different.
A Space Built for Real Voices
Career & Culture Corner became more than a podcast. It became a mirror: reflecting who we are and who we’re becoming.
Across teams and roles, people spoke about growth that starts with intention. About stepping out of comfort zones. About choosing courage over certainty. About learning not because you’re told to, but because curiosity lives here.
One message echoed again and again:
Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you’re intentional.
Intentional about your values.
Intentional about your goals.
Intentional about the choices you make every day.
At ITBD, people aren’t waiting for permission to grow. They’re encouraged to take the leap: knowing that learning often begins where comfort ends.
Confidence Without Comparison
One of the most powerful reflections shared was this simple truth:
Confidence isn’t believing you’re better than everyone else; it’s not needing to compare yourself at all.
That mindset runs deep at ITBD. People are encouraged to take bold decisions, try new things, and even fail, without fear. Because failure here isn’t a setback; it’s part of innovation. It’s how questions turn into breakthroughs and uncertainty turns into opportunity.
When people feel safe to experiment, creativity thrives. And when creativity thrives, so does progress.
Learning as a Way of Life
At IT by Design, learning isn’t limited to technology or roles. It’s personal. It’s professional. It’s constant.
Employees spoke about resilience, about staying curious in a world that keeps changing. About becoming the kind of people who can succeed in any situation, not just one job. About being lifelong learners who understand that personal growth fuels company growth.
There’s a shared belief here:
When I grow, I create space for others to grow too.
That’s how leadership is built. Not by climbing alone; but by lifting others as you rise.
Leadership That Listens
A recurring theme throughout CCC was leadership, real leadership.
Not hierarchy.
Not authority.
But leaders who listen. Leaders who challenge you. Leaders who support you.
People spoke openly about how approachable and transparent leadership feels at ITBD. How feedback flows both ways. How trust is built not through titles, but through actions.
This balance: high performance without losing human touch, is what creates an environment where people don’t just work harder; they work happier.
Culture as Community
Ask anyone at ITBD what culture means, and you won’t get a corporate definition.
You’ll hear words like family, community, belonging.
Culture here is where people work together, learn together, celebrate together, and yes, even sing together. It’s professional and personal. Structured and soulful.
From the very first few weeks, people feel it. They feel heard. Not just acknowledged; but truly listened to. That sense of belonging is why people stay. Why they grow. Why they build long-term careers here.
Gratitude and Grit
What makes this culture endure is balance.
Gratitude: for trust, opportunities, and support.
Grit: for pushing through challenges and striving for more.
It’s heart and hustle, side by side.
Over time, many shared the same realization:
It’s not just about the work we do; it’s about the people we become while doing it.
That’s the real outcome of a strong culture.
Why People Choose IT By Design
When asked why they would recommend ITBD to others, the answer was simple and consistent:
Learning and culture.
People grow here. Technically, professionally, and personally. They’re encouraged to give their best,sometimes even more than 100%, not out of pressure, but pride. Because doing your best today leaves no room for regret tomorrow.
Teamwork amplifies everything. Alone, you can do well. Together, you can do extraordinary things, not just for yourself, but for everyone around you.
A Reflection of Who We Are
Career & Culture Corner didn’t just recap moments from 2025. It captured the soul of IT by Design.
A company that believes culture is built in everyday actions.
It is an environment in which employees are appreciated from the beginning of their employment. An atmosphere for everyone to share in the growth of their co-workers, for continuous education, and where leaders earn the respect of their employees through trust. This represents how we have developed not only our people, but our culture as well.
