	"The fact that you can have lunch next to the CEO is pretty cool! He takes the same elevator as everyone else does, he talks to everybody, asks which product you work for how things are going, etc.. We also have the famous breakfast with the CEO on our anniversary. It is pretty interesting, we sit in his conference room, eat breakfast together and we can ask any questions we want..and he answers!!"
