Our Approach to Flexible Work With Flex Work, we combine the benefits of both in-person and remote work. This approach allows our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and perform at their best. Recognizing that flexibility can vary greatly, we do not specify a required number of in-office days each week. Instead, we aim to spend at least half (50%) of our time each quarter either in the office or engaged directly with customers, prospects, and partners, depending on the role. This provides you with the freedom to design a schedule that meets business, team, and personal needs while ensuring meaningful in-person interactions. Team members in remote roles also have opportunities to gather in our offices for important moments.

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.
