Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback. It's great to know that our flexible work options and competitive compensation are making a positive impact on your experience! When it comes to compensation, our philosophy is rooted in embracing a market-based approach and we are committed to making sure every role is paid at market, and we regularly review data to ensure fairness and consistency across the business. Thank you for sharing your feedback on workload and prioritization. Burnout is something we take very seriously, and we recognize how important it is to create an environment where our team can do their best work without feeling overwhelmed. We strongly encourage employees to use their PTO to rest and recharge. We also offer ongoing wellness workshops and resources to support our team. For example, this month, in recognition of World Mental Health Day, we’re hosting a session on preventing burnout. These programs are one of the ways we’re trying to give employees more tools to manage stress and well-being. When it comes to regular check-ins, we’re continuing to invest in manager development so they can better support their teams in setting priorities and preventing burnout. Regarding our Professional Development program, your feedback on improving communication is well-taken. Our goal with this benefit is to empower our team to truly own their growth. We provide a competitive annual development budget to all employees and we encourage team members to proactively seek out opportunities that excite them, drive development conversations, and bring ideas to their managers to make the most of it. These efforts are always led by employees but done in close partnership with managers, who play a key role in supporting, guiding, and championing growth. It’s also a great idea to chat with your teammates to see if they have resources or trainings they’ve found especially valuable. Ultimately, developing our people is a top priority, and we want to ensure everyone has the tools and support needed to grow. Thanks again for this helpful input and for your contributions!

Working remote + 2 trips to Boston/year = dream job!

Pros

Forward Palooza!!! --- Two times a year the company brings all US and Canadian employees to Boston for a few days of fun, collaboration, and celebrating company/individual wins! I really couldn't think of anything better than having the flexibility of working remotely from anywhere, and then getting two trips to Boston a year to connect with my team! The office is gorgeous, the people are fun, and the People and Culture team does an amazing job of putting on a great few days for the crew!

Cons

None that I can think of!

Thank you for sharing - we love hearing how much Forward Palooza means to our team! Bringing all of our U.S. and Canadian employees together in Boston twice a year is one of the most important investments we make in our culture. It’s a chance to step away from the day-to-day, celebrate wins, strengthen connections, and have some fun together. And a big shoutout to our People & Culture team for making Palooza such a memorable experience each time! We’re also glad you enjoy the flexibility of remote work paired with these in-person moments - it’s exactly the balance we aim for. We truly appreciate your feedback and are so happy to hear the impact these events have on you and the team!
