With Flex Work, we combine 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. Rather than a number of required days in‐office each week, we 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).
