Flexible Work With Flex Work, we combine the best of both worlds: in‑person time and remote. We encourage our teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. 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 allows 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 gather in our offices for important moments that matter.
