Flexible remote work
To promote a healthy work-life balance, all full-time team members can work remotely up to 2 days each week, with extra remote days available to accommodate unexpected situations (details below). Each team member has full control over when they choose to use their remote days—no approval or advance notice needed. Part-time team members may not be eligible for remote work due to in-office needs; this detail will be made clear in any part-time job opening / offer letter.
Extra remote days
Full-time team members accrue one extra remote day on the first day of each quarter, up to a balance of 10 extra remote days. You can use these extra remote days to work remotely more than twice in a week. While it’s up to each team member to decide how and when to use their extra remote days, we recommend reserving these for unexpected situations.
Mixed days
If needed, you can work part of the day from the office and part of the day remotely. This counts as a remote day, so you’ll need to have a remote day available to do this. If you need to switch your work location, just be sure to inform your manager in advance and update your work location status.
Guidance
Be sure to choose and/or create a working environment that is suitable for productive work. This would include:
- A fast, reliable internet connection
- Your laptop and any other supplies/gear you need
- Noise-level and surroundings conducive to the type of work you do
- Sufficient time to work as much as you would have at the office
When choosing which days to work remotely, take into consideration your commitments and responsibilities, like whether you have meetings, company-wide events, etc. Be sure to notify team members who may be impacted by you working remotely that day.
Working remotely generally requires more effort to ensure it’s effective and productive. It will take extra work to ensure you’re still collaborating well with your teammates and exceeding their expectations. At the end of the day, your teammates are counting on you just as much as when you’re at the office.
Why not 100% remote?
As a tech company, much of our work can be performed from anywhere. Yet, we’ve found that we’re more collaborative and productive as a team when working from a co-located environment. Plus, working in-person with fellow team members fosters a stronger team culture and more meaningful connections.
To make co-located working the best possible experience, we’ve invested heavily into creating one of the most enjoyable office environments around, with plenty of snacks, indoor/outdoor break areas, ample private offices, stellar coffee, standing desks, and so much more. Our office was designed with team member feedback to be a place people genuinely want to work from.
