I work for a smart company, Bryan Cave LLP.  I think Bryan Cave is smart because of the culture and how it welcomes diversity.  People are respected for their work and dedication.  It doesn't matter about your race, gender, political beliefs, religion or sexual orientation, if you are talented you can succeed at Bryan Cave.  They also invest in the professional development of their employees.  Each year I have gone to the PASS conference and attended other local classes and events.  They expect a lot, but they have helped me grow a lot, too.
