TUNE was a lot of fun to visit. TUNE is a great name because they “TUNE” technology to help customers improve their Mobile Marketing. Their operation is situated downtown near the water and is housed in a historic brick building that used to house horses in the 1920’s. They have done a wonderful job of preserving some of the history with framed pictures of the original structure. An old hay cart was suspended from the ceiling in one part of the building, and the outside has a horse’s head looking out toward the water.
The girls were particularly excited about the app project they were tasked with. Divided up into small groups of four, each group created an app that would positively impact the environment. Some incorporated “steps” for exercise and reduced emissions, and other groups focused on points and prizes for picking up garbage.
As with many tech companies, they provide opportunities for their employees to stay at work and be comfortable. They have their own chef AND they provide breakfast and lunch, and sometimes dinner to them! Happy hour has its own venue just a block up from the main operation, where they have regular gatherings.
And there were dogs…!After this event:
