FloQast Company Culture & Values

Describe your team culture in one word. 

Ownership. I see a culture of ownership pop up all across FloQast, and so many of us appreciate it as a key part of our FloQast experience.

When you own something, you feel a healthy pressure to set things up for success and  take a special interest in the result. In engineering, it’s not just the seniors who own software delivery projects. We rotate that ownership around to every engineer on the team so that everyone has opportunities to stretch and show what they’re capable of.

Our ownership culture is a natural product of transparency and autonomy. It starts at the top when, every quarter, everyone in the company sees the same slides that are presented to the board of directors. We know the key numbers. We’re aligned on the vision and the goals. And then we’re given the autonomy to go and do the things in our areas that will help us reach our goals.

And we’re all literal owners of FloQast’s success through the stock option program. We know that the value of our slice of the company increases as we take care of our customers and attract new customers by solving the problems they care about.

What is one way your company ensures all employees feel included in the company culture, even with remote employees?

One advantage I’ve found is the mix of synchronous and asynchronous communication. If you like to think out loud and bounce ideas off others, there are Zoom meetings. If you like to take time to organize your thoughts, there’s Slack. So many of the conversations happening across the company every day are easily accessible for anyone to join or catch up on later.

My favorite channels are the ones that celebrate our wins, like signing new deals with customers. Each thread has a story attached of people across departments working together to win. Having a continual feed of what winning looks like at FloQast reinforces the culture for everyone following along.

What is your favorite part about working remotely?

I love that I can work for such an exciting company from anywhere in the United States. As someone who has had to hire a lot as we’ve grown engineering over the years, it’s such an advantage to be able to have access to a huge talent pool and be able to hire the best fit regardless of location. It’s a fun dynamic to work alongside people from almost every state.
