This is why our employees generally work from the office three days per week, leaving two days for choice and flexibility to work where you feel most effective.

This setup fosters casual conversations, problem-solving, and trusted relationships. While details may evolve, our goal is to create an environment where innovation thrives, with office-based teams coming together three days a week to collaborate and thrive, together
