OUR REMOTE CULTURE
We've gone completely remote, and we love it. Every once in a while we do meet in person, but we spend most of our time in the cloud chatting on Slack or meeting on Google Meet. And since we've done this for a while now, we understand that working from home can be the most liberating way of working for some, but a challenging situation for others, so as long as your tasks are completed and your deadlines are met, we're all set for success. We do expect you to work a full day and be available to hop on an internal or a client call during normal business hours, but we don't expect you to be at your desk for 8 straight hours, in fact, we encourage you to take the occasional, but much refreshing break.
