Approach to Flexible Work

With Flex Work, we combine the best of both worlds: in‑person time and remote. Our approach enables teams to deepen connections, maintain a strong community, and do their best work. We do not set a fixed number of required days in‑office, instead encouraging at least half of the time each quarter in the office or in the field with customers, prospects, and partners, as appropriate for the role. This gives employees flexibility to create a schedule that meets their business, team, and personal needs while still fostering collaboration when necessary.
