We treat one another like we treat our customers: with respect and dignity. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are cultural values we take very seriously, and we welcome and recruit team members of all backgrounds and identities.
We like to have fun together! We work from home from all across the US (though we do have small offices in SF and Kingston NY), and we enjoy connecting virtually for laughs with teammates, and appearances of kiddos and furry friends over Zoom. And we love our in-person team get-togethers around the country.
