Our Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work we’re combining the best of both worlds: in-person time and remote. Our approach enables our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community and do their best work. We know that flexibility can take shape in many ways so rather than a number of required days in-office each week we simply spend 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 means you\'ll have the freedom to create a flexible schedule that caters to your business, team and personal needs while being intentional to make the most of time spent together. Those in our remote \"home office\" roles also have the opportunity to come together in our offices for important moments that matter.
