WHO ARE WE?

Good Company Doughnuts and Café has opened a new Café at Amazon HQ2! Located at Pentagon City, National Landing, we are a gourmet doughnut shop and casual neighborhood restaurant obsessed with artisan, hand-cut doughnuts; great food; kraft cocktails; fine teas and specialty coffee!

We’re known for amazing food, beverages and excellent customer service; it’s going to be a busy café! At our Ballston location customers line up on weekends for our extraordinary experience and high-quality offerings, and we are expecting we’ll be even busier here at Amazon HQ. We’ve got a great team founded on hard work, love for what we do and who we do it with. The Company culture is professional and each member of the team is treated like family.

Can we talk about coffee! We love it and take pride in offering the best quality coffee available. We’ve partnered with the best, Intelligentsia Coffee Roasters, and work hard to maintain the highest standards. We believe every customer deserves to drink the best drink we can make each and every time. Excellence doesn’t happen by chance and our folks work hard to develop skill and take the time to deliver a great experience. On the other hand, Coffee is about community and we try not to take things too seriously… we have a fun and balanced approach with opportunities to be creative and have some fun and build relationships. We hold contests where Team Members are encouraged and rewarded for their innovative ideas, initiative, and skill! No matter what position you start in with us, you will have the opportunity to be cross-trained and will be tasked to take on different positions within our team. Our managers lead by example- there is no task that anyone is ‘too qualified’ to do.

Most importantly, what makes us a Good Company is our dedication to one another and that includes our customers. It’s easy these days to get lost, with all the distractions and everyday craziness. Our job at the café is to provide a place where people can get the food and drink they love and have some friendly personal interactions. Whether customers are looking for a little friendly banter, a friendly face, or an environment to escape the routine for a minute, we provide the opportunity. To make this happen for our customers, our great team must be a happy one, so we’ve fostered an inclusive environment where we support one another to achieve consistent excellence and have some fun along the way.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
