Hybrid Workspace
Employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.
Building the 3D tools of the future is not an easy task. To reach this ambitious goal, we need to react fast, iterate, and make changes on the fly. Our teams observe a flexible hybrid, where we all aim to be in office 3 days/week when possible.
