In the United States, we have a flexible hybrid work policy for employees who live within 30 miles of our office headquartered in New York City and our office in Seattle. Employees within the New York and Seattle metropolitan areas are expected to work from the designated office twice a week, unless there is a job-specific requirement to be in the office every workday.

We believe our hybrid approach for those near our NYC and Seattle offices increases productivity through more in-person collaboration where possible.
