Joe Bond is a Staff UX Engineer. Colleagues describe him as "Never underestimate the impact of Joe Bond. I learned this lesson quickly when we brought Joe into Centerline. Not only is he passionate, an exceptional communicator and a champion for collaboration, he's wicked smart. What I appreciated most about working with Joe was the elusive trait that's nearly impossible to suss out during an applicant interview: trust. I could trust Joe as a colleague, user advocate and human. If we had a tough client meeting, I could trust Joe to be engaged and help facilitate the conversation. When there was an unfamiliar challenge in front of us, I could always trust that Joe was immersing himself in the problem to forge a path forward. When we didn't have an answer, I could trust that Joe was already digging for a hypothesis to test. It was a pleasure working with Joe, and a privilege to have him on my team. I highly recommend him to any organization that’s looking for a true collaborator and self-motivated leader who remains open to continuous learning." and "If you're considering hiring Joe and don't have time to read past this sentence, then I can save you the trouble—hire him. With Joe on your team, you get someone who: 1.) Will jump in without hesitation and start moving the needle. He's smart and enthusiastic, so the needle usually moves in the right direction. 2.) Has strong convictions, knows what he's capable of, and has no problem giving and taking direction. He has great people skills, so he is trusted and likable. 3.) Has his heart in the right place. He is motivated by mission and impact, not by (excessive) money. 4.) Is a pleasure to be around every day. He will always bring the average office mood up, not down. Joe came into a very uncertain environment that was changing on a weekly (if not daily) basis in terms of direction, tasks, and short-term goals. He was able to learn on the fly and was very quickly managing people of his own without missing a beat. If I could keep Joe on our team, I wouldn't hesitate."
