Our employees take their work very seriously as we are the trailblazers in our space, but don’t worry, you can always find a good video game match getting competitive during lunch time. Our dress is casual, we have one of the best views in the city, along with perks and benefits that are designed to promote work/life balance. Flexible work arrangements, sports league teams, free snacks and “beverages”, professional development programs, regular social events, discounted gym membership, matching 401K – we’ve got you covered. Our CEO, Jason Weingarten, and President, Dan Bartfield, always have their office doors open. You might even see one of them at the local karaoke bar now and then, but not to worry as they’ve been told not to quit their day jobs.
