A Little More About STS
You don’t get named a “Best Place to Work” by the Washington Business Journal, receive the Washington Technology magazine’s FAST50 status, and achieve Inc Magazine’s “Inc 500” status just by ‘talking the talk’. Our vision of excellence is aligned to our 'Techquity' (Tech-Equity) focus and drive. We understand that disparities and gaps in opportunities and earning potential exist for marginalized groups, such as people of color and women, in the IT industry. By leveraging the power, passion, and talent from this group we are able to deliver innovative GovCon IT solutions that exceed our customer’s expectations.
Our team members are not just ‘employees’; they’re parents, friends, volunteers, artists, students, athletes, and all of the other things that make them whole people. The flexibility that STS offers allows them to balance their personal lives while providing the top-notch services our customers have come to depend on.
