Working at Gore

Our lattice structure guides how we operate and communicate. Associates – not employees - engage with whomever is needed to get our work done. Sponsors and leaders — not bosses — guide Associates in maximizing their talents and interests to meet business needs. We encourage all Associates to play an active role in charting their career paths and helping their fellow Associates grow.
