Flexible Work

Our approach to flexible work combines in-person time and remote work. We enable our teams to deepen connections maintain a strong community and do their best work. Rather than a fixed number of required days in-office each week, we require at least half (50%) of our time each quarter in the office or in the field with our customers prospects and partners (depending on role). This gives you the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business needs and personal priorities while remaining intentional. Those in our remote home-office roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
