Monday
You know who has your back
Someone senior is invested in your progress from the first project. Mentorship is assigned, not hoped for, so the week starts with a person, not a ticket queue.
Working at Ocean Blue Corporation
Serious work.
Real backing.
We build and support enterprise and government IT, with consultants on client sites across the US and teams offshore. We are a company that backs its people: a mentor from the first project, a named person to call, and time off you actually take. Nobody here figures it out alone.
Teams in the US and offshore, on the same projects and the same standard.
An IT services and staffing company that treats every role as a real job.
Ocean Blue Corporation builds and staffs enterprise and government IT: application development, data and systems integration, and the long-running support that keeps those systems alive after launch.
Proper onboarding, payroll and immigration paperwork handled, and a named person to call when something is wrong. That last part is what most staffing firms skip, and it is why people stay with us across engagements.
What we stand for.
Values are only worth writing down if you can see them in how a company runs. These are the ones we hold ourselves to.
People before placements
A consultant is a colleague, not a line on a statement of work. We hire people we intend to keep, and we back them across every engagement.
Ownership close to the work
The people doing the work make the calls. Small teams and short chains mean decisions are made by the ones with the context.
Do it properly
For our clients and for each other. Systems built to last, and the paperwork, payroll and compliance behind every person done right the first time.
Everyone belongs
A team drawn from everywhere, in the US and offshore, held to one standard and given one welcome.
A week at Ocean Blue.
Culture is what happens on a normal Tuesday, not what a poster says. Here is what an ordinary week looks like, whether you are on a client site in the US or working with us from offshore.
- Tuesday
The people on the project decide
Small teams and short chains. The consultants doing the work have the context to make the call, and are trusted to make it.
- Wednesday
Every voice gets heard
A team drawn from everywhere, on client sites in the US and offshore, where the newest person in the room still gets a hearing.
- Thursday
The back office handles it
Payroll, immigration paperwork and compliance are done properly by people whose job it is, so you can stay focused on the work.
- Friday
Time off you actually take
Flexible arrangements, remote days, and leave you request in a couple of clicks. Rest is part of doing the work well, not a reward for it.
If you need something to do your job well, ask for it.
The people on the project are the people who decide how it gets built.
Small teams.
Short chains.
Four ways in. One standard.
Every arrangement gets proper onboarding, a named HR contact, and its records kept straight. Cover varies by arrangement; the support does not.
W-2
Salaried on our payroll, with the full benefits package and a 401(k) with an employer contribution.
Contract
Project work on a defined engagement, with clear terms from the start.
1099
Independent consultants, contracted directly, on the same projects as everyone else.
Offshore
Our teams outside the US, employed through local payroll entities.
Your first weeks, without the guesswork.
Starting somewhere new is mostly waiting on other people. We keep that part short.
A proper welcome
HR reaches out before day one, so you know who to call, what to bring and what to expect.
Paperwork, once
Documents and Form I-9 done once and done properly, with HR alongside you the whole way.
Meet your mentor
A named senior colleague who knows what you are working toward, not just what you shipped.
First engagement
You start on the project with a team around you, and payroll, leave and benefits already sorted.
Covered, not cornered.
Benefits vary by arrangement, and HR walks you through exactly what you have, so it is never a mystery.
- Health
- Medical, dental and vision cover for you and your family.
- Retirement
- 401(k) with an employer contribution, so the future is part of the package.
- Protection
- Life and disability cover, in place from day one.
- Time off
- PTO, sick and casual leave, plus long leave when life needs it.
Common questions.
What people ask before they join, and what colleagues ask in their first week. If yours is not here, write to us.
What does Ocean Blue Corporation do?
We are an IT services and staffing company. We build and support enterprise and government systems, and we staff those projects with our own consultants across W-2, contract, 1099 and offshore arrangements.
What kinds of roles do you hire for?
Application development, data engineering, systems integration, quality engineering, and the support and delivery roles around them. Engagements run from short project work to multi-year programs.
What is the difference between your W-2, contract, 1099 and offshore arrangements?
W-2 means salaried on our payroll with the full benefits package and 401(k). Contract is project work on a defined engagement with clear terms. 1099 covers independent consultants contracted directly. Offshore covers our teams outside the US, employed through local payroll entities.
Do you sponsor or support work authorization?
We handle employment eligibility properly, including Form I-9 verification and, where it applies, STEM OPT training plans. Work authorization records and expiry dates are tracked so nothing lapses by surprise. What we can sponsor depends on the role, so ask HR about a specific opening.
What benefits do you offer?
Medical, dental and vision cover, a 401(k) with an employer contribution, life and disability cover, and paid time off including sick, casual and long leave. Cover varies by arrangement, and your enrollment is visible in your portal.
How do I get access to the employee portal?
Accounts are created by HR or an administrator. There is no public sign-up. You will get an emailed invite and set your own password. This portal keeps its own sign-in, separate from the company website.
