Its not all about seriousness at this Boston business; they make plenty of time for fun and games too...

All work and no play would make ZeroTurnaround — a Java productivity tools maker — a dull company, but that’s not a problem for its Hub-based sales, marketing and human resources teams.

“Our personalities are actually projected through our products and our users see that,” said marketing director Jeremy Lopez. “So if we give them the environment such as this to work in, it makes it that much better for that to be projected through to our products.”
