WideOrbit Career Development FAQ

This Months's #meetawideorbiter features Kasey McCormick Lyding: My name is Kasey McCormick Lyding, and I have proudly been with WideOrbit for the last 10 years. I am a Senior Manager of Professional Services, leading the WO Network Implementation team. I am deeply fascinated by the media industry and enjoy interacting with our customers, understanding their initiatives, and charting a course for them to achieve their goals. WideOrbit offers a range of rewarding perks and programs that I truly appreciate. One that stands out to me is our sabbatical program, which I have been fortunate enough to participate in twice, and I'm eagerly awaiting my third sabbatical. This program allows me to recharge and avoid burnout, and I believe it has greatly contributed to my professional success here at WideOrbit. I'm also proud to have been part of two recent Learning and Development initiatives, the Management Development Course and the newly launched Mentorship Program.

This month’s #MeetaWideOrbiter features Elham Saebi: My name is Elham Saebi, and I am a Software Engineer at WideOrbit. I work with the WO Traffic Engineering team where I focus on the enhancement and development of new features for the WO Traffic application. I joined WideOrbit last September as a remote engineer based in Orange County, California. Moving to the US from Canada, this is my first job experience in the US, and I am delighted to be a part of the WideOrbit team. WideOrbit offers various programs to help connect employees both personally and professionally. Some that I have enjoyed the most include Balance and Belonging, Financial Wellness, and a private Facebook group. WideOrbit also encourages employees to volunteer up to 8 hours per year. In December, I had the opportunity to volunteer with two of my fellow Southern California-based WideOrbiters at the Second Harvest Food Bank Farm where we worked in the fields to harvest vegetables with other volunteers. We were able to contribute to helping provide nutritious and fresh food to our local community.
