At these 5 Chicago tech companies, connection is key.

Remote onboarding isn’t easy, but some of Chicago’s tech companies have designed a playbook of sorts to help companies navigate the process. 

The company passed $500 million in all-time sales this year.

We talked with seven tech companies in Chicago about the cultures and traditions that set their sales teams apart. Here’s what they had to say.

Some developers discover their passion for technology at an early age, but spending your teenage years building websites and custom software is not a prerequisite for a career in coding. In fact, many successful developers have been well underway on different career paths before getting involved in the tech scene.

What sets stellar engineering teams apart from the rest? We asked developers from four Chicago tech companies to weigh in.

At SpotHero, a Chicago-based startup, they live by a decidedly different motto: “Don’t get stuck in traffic.” It’s a fitting mantra for a company whose tech platform is taking on the old-fashioned parking industry by making it easier for people to find and rent urban parking spots.

JULY 2016: Sometimes the best way to move up in your career is by exploring opportunities at a different company. And in the startup world getting into a company at just the right stage could land you a senior level position before you know it. If you're ready to take the leap and put in the work, consider applying at one of these companies.

TechStars Chicago has enjoyed an illustrious run since it first came to town in 2013. Dozens of companies have graduated from its program, with some of its top brass alumni being acquired in recent years.
