What It’s Like to Work at Crabel
We’ve worked hard to build an open culture where ideas and results matter more than titles or past achievements. Our flat structure means everyone wears multiple hats. On a regular basis, employees interact with different teams, departments, and offices, including the CEO and COO.

Delivering results for our clients comes first, no question. But when it’s time for a break or celebration, we aim to make the most of our downtime. Throughout the workweek, we organize frequent events, such as seasonal cook-offs, interoffice contests, happy hours, and other team outings. We have a relaxed atmosphere; employees in our Milwaukee office frequently bring their dogs to work. We also love to stay active together. We schedule walking meetings, participate in exercise challenges, and meet outside of work for fitness classes, tennis matches, hikes, and bike rides.

What to Expect When Applying to Crabel
Our recruitment team diligently reviews applications to identify candidates with the background and skills that match our needs. After you submit your current resume/CV via the online application, you’ll receive a notification from a member of our team if we believe you might be a match for an open position.

While we’re looking to learn more about you during the interview process, we understand you’re getting to know us too. As part of the interview experience, you’ll meet the team, get a feel for our culture, and have the opportunity to ask us questions. We conduct interviews over the phone, using a video conferencing application, or in person and do our best to keep the process as simple as possible. However, it’s common to attend two to three rounds of interviews before we make a final hiring decision. After your interviews are complete, we’ll keep in touch with updates as the process moves along.
