In our remote-first model, employees can work from the location that works best for them. We do not have centralized corporate offices. Employees can choose to work from home, in company-paid co-working spaces, or any combination of the two that best suits their unique needs. If you work from home, we recommend ensuring that you can meet the following technology, equipment and workspace requirements: High-Speed Internet - A stable broadband or fiber connection (satellite is highly discouraged) with a minimum speed of 100 Mbps in a dedicated workspace that has a reliable Wi-Fi signal. Device for Multifactor Authentication (MFA/2FA) - smartphone, tablet, etc. When it matters (usually no more than a few times a year) we take the time to gather for in-person events.
