History Behind Our Name >
Akana is a great place to work, and attracts and retains exceptional talent, by providing a challenging and diverse work place with ample opportunity for advancement. Many of our employees marvel at the breadth of experience they enjoy at the firm, which is not typical for a firm our size. We also benefit from many long-term employees who can provide leadership and mentorship to new staff joining the firm. Our employees receive higher than industry standard wages, and a benefits package which has been designated by our insurance broker as “best in class.” Akana employees enjoy a flexible work schedule and work environment including telecommuting to help with their work/life balance.

All employment decisions, including hiring, promotion, and compensation, are made based on qualifications, merit, and business needs, without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
As part of our commitment to supporting Native communities, we may apply Indian Preference in hiring only when permitted by federal law and contract requirements, such as on certain projects funded through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and governed by FAR Clause 1452.226-70.
We value diversity in our workforce and encourage all qualified individuals, regardless of background, to apply.
