"I have known and worked for Shawmut since 2003. They are an incredible company with strong principles and high morals rare in today's world. The employees are some of the best I've ever worked with and the high level of projects, national and international clients are the very best names in the world. The company is about to surpass $1B anally - and they've earned it!"
