"It's beautiful, just a great space for us," says Tilson CEO Joshua Broder, who employs 100 people in Portland and 400 nationwide, but says there's room for up to 150 in the new space. e millennial-friendly open-plan set-up takes up 16,000 square feet. "It felt expensive," Broder says, "but it had a good value proposition so we went for a new ultra-modern space." Broder notes that employers like Tilson and their soon-to-be-neighbor WEX are "competing for the best employees in the world," and one way to lure talent is with an attractive workspace.
