Work Hours
We work hard, but there are no “death marches”. Except for critical “all hands on deck” operational issues or
DevOps on-call scheduling, you will not be expected to work nights or weekends as a normal occurrence. Quality is your
friend if you don’t want to work nights or weekends.
Work-life balance is a core value of the engineering team. We want everyone to enjoy a rich life experience that includes
family, friends, hobbies and just plain relaxing.
That being said, we work intensely and collaboratively 9-10 hours a day, Monday through Friday. Our team will always be in
startup mode, no matter how many years we work together.
We are also flexible when life gets “real” and requires your focus on something other than your profession. Doctors
appointments, special events with the kids, family commitments and etc. No problem.
