The Culture & Location

We’re more focused on deliverables than meetings, but we work closely and openly together. Everyone’s opinion is respected and all ideas are given consideration. It’s a culture of meaningful work by dedicated, hard-working individuals, but the environment is relaxed and creative too. We have an office in lower Manhattan, but the majority of employees are fully-remote.
