Does the company offer plenty of opportunities for highly motivated individuals to move up the corporate ladder, or is it a more mundane type of company that picks its managers from already chosen, and groomed stock? If that is the type of company policy that is being implemented, I would probably be more interested in working somewhere else. Going hand-in-hand with that characteristic is the capability of the company to offer advancement in the first place. Is the company big enough to offer such advancement opportunities? Does it have enough offices in enough locales to constantly and consistently keep my interest? Does the company have enough products in those locations to ensure that the workplace environment will be exciting enough to motivate the employees (especially me) in regards to diligently working and progressing? Overall, I would say that working for a company that displays the three characteristics discussed throughout this paper would afford me exactly what I would desire from a company. I am not looking for a staid, conservative workplace environment that would quickly turn to a paradise of boredom. Instead, what I desire...

That is the company for me.
If this were also a company that was already large enough to dominate in its chosen area of expertise, but was still looking to grow even further (even internationally) I cannot think of a more exciting place to work. The sky-is-the-limit attitude motivates me far more than any other characteristic as it ties into all the other characteristics I have discussed in this paper. All these strong characteristics make a company an exciting, motivating and invigorating place to work.

A company that displays these three characteristics is probably a company that would also provide job security, and though that is not a characteristic high on my list, it is a characteristic that is an added benefit of working for this type of company. The job security is ensured by the aggressive dog-eat-dog mentality that shows a company will be sticking around for the long-term, and will probably offer much in the way of job growth, management opportunities and higher levels of compensation due to its aggressive nature.
