I appreciate the interest you have in Microvision, as of now we do not have any openings in our sales team, however I encourage you to check back we keep our job openings listed on our careers site.

We do offer employees stock options. This has been a great incentive for employees to put a stake in their future.

Microvision is in fact co-located with “the big M”, as you put it, in the great Pacific Northwest in Redmond, WA (that is about 15 miles east of Seattle).

As far as our commuter program, we offer a variety of resources for employees. Probably the most popular is our monthly incentive program where we offer gift cards to those employees that commute alternatively (basically you don’t drive a car alone: instead bike to work, carpool, take the bus, etc) twice or more a week. Beyond our monthly incentives commuters employees enter into drawings and other participate in other promotional programs. Our current promotion is the Tour De Redmond; we have our own Microvision biking team: the Full Spectrum Riders. Employees can sign up to join the team and compete against other Redmond Companies, trying to reduce the monthly commutes. GO Full Spectrum Riders!!! Wahoo!!!

We also have bike racks and storage, showers, and commuter fairs to promote these alternatives to employees (you’d be surprised how many employees simply don’t know about these programs unless they’re beaten over the head with them!), etc. We also help our employees find other people that are driving a similar commute for carpooling and vanpooling!

In the end, some of the little things can make a difference for employees when it comes to trying to reduce the number of commutes. I don’t know about you, but at the end of the day we all just want to get home, as quickly as we can and do a little something for our environment.
