Company Social Events

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008 by Kelly

Company social events are a great way for employees to interact and get to know each other outside of their daily work. Homestead has monthly social events that range from tie-dying to magic shows! This month we had our social event at Blue Chalk Café, a restaurant in downtown Palo Alto. There was plenty of food and drinks, and we also had a team competition where the winners received free movie tickets! Below are some photos of Homestead employees kicking back and having some fun!

Homestead’s University Outreach program symbolizes our dedication to reaching out and acquiring top talent in a continual effort to improve and ensure the future success of our company.  We actively recruit new graduates by attending career fairs, planning fun social events on college campuses, and maintaining close ties with various on-campus organizations. You may have even come across our booth at your school!  You can’t miss us, because we’re the booth with upbeat, really friendly people that always has cool giveaways!  We are certain that new grads will have a state of the art experience at Homestead by immediately being immersed in our unique culture, where they will have the opportunity to work on challenging projects that make a difference to our business. 

If you’re graduating soon, I encourage you to visit our careers page and send us your resume.  Our ever growing company will present many career opportunities for your future!

Check out some quotes from a few of our recent grads:

“Monday mornings used to be my worst mornings of all time, but after working at Homestead, I LOVE THEM!”
-Sandeep, QA Tester

“Transitioning from school to Homestead was made extremely easy by the understanding nature of the people at Homestead. They expect you to ask questions about things you don’t understand. Just like school, I’m learning valuable things daily, but I also get the benefit of seeing my projects actually applied to the real world. I’ve already built some relationships as strong as those I had in school.”
-Kramer, UI Designer

“It was amazing how quickly I felt at home at Homestead.  Within a few days, it felt just like working in the labs at school.  Now after a few months, it feels like I’m hanging out and working on projects with a bunch of friends.”
-Jonathan, Software Developer

“Becoming a UI designer at Homestead was my first job out of college, and I believe it was the best decision I could have made.  I work with truly impressive and highly experienced people everyday, yet even with experience discrepancies, I have been taken seriously and given real responsibility.  This, and the fact that no one at Homestead penalizes you for revealing what you don’t know by asking questions, and is always willing to help you out, has allowed me to grow tremendously.  In addition to all of this, I have really been able to be myself at work and have a lot of fun with the people I work with.”
-Lindsay, UI Designer
