"Following 12 rewarding years at the Defense Department, Metronome gave me the opportunity to support [a Government agency], bringing my career full-circle. I began my professional career as a cartographer at the National Geographic Society, so this position was a fitting return to my roots. Since joining Metronome on May 30th, I’ve been impressed at how inclusive and family-friendly the company is."

On a daily basis, I give 110% of my energy to infect those around me with a new drive to live life to the fullest. My motto I share with everyone is “864”!

The day the guns fell silent

"It was 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, 1918 — a century ago Sunday — the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month."

Today marks 100 years since the end of World War I. Veterans Day commemorates the service and sacrifice of veterans, past and present. We salute you and your families. Thank you for your service.

“I’ve been a contractor for over 23 years and I have always worked for the bigger companies. After 22 years of working for those bigger companies, I made a conscious decision to seek employment for a smaller, more family-oriented company where I wasn’t just considered a number. In that pursuit, I received a phone call from Metronome and the initial conversation was one that I’ll always remember. My recruiter was interested in my long-term goals and what I wanted. When I finally visited headquarters, Metronome really wowed me. Everyone greeted me with open arms and great big hugs to welcome me to the family. It’s two years later, and I still feel like part of the family!” – Janice Wilson, Metronome Pulser

“The importance of music and the impact it has had on my life cannot be understated. Ever since I can remember, music has provided the soundtrack that has helped define me as person. It’s opened my eyes to look at the world from a different perspective and has acted as the navigator through the roughest waters. Music is the true universal bond that does not judge. It has the ability to pierce through negativity and pull us all together. As Bob Marley famously said, ‘The one good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.’ There is nothing I could agree with more.” – Chris Behrmann, Metronome Pulser and musician
