When I was last looking for a job, I was drawn to Simpson Strong-Tie because I was seeking career growth, and my last company didn’t have room for advancement. I found an HR admin position for Simpson Strong-Tie listed on LinkedIn, and after some research on Indeed, I saw great reviews about the company’s culture, treatment of employees, and the experiences of employees. I knew I had to apply.
