Where We Work
We offer most staff the flexibility to either work remotely or onsite at our South San Francisco office. While the majority of employees choose the 100% telecommuting option, some always work in the office and others opt for a split onsite/remote schedule. We offer this range of options so eligible employees can choose the best fit for their workstyle and lifestyle.
A majority-remote workforce
We provide telecommuting employees with all the technology and resources they need to do their jobs, including:
- Computer hardware such as laptops, Virtual Private Network (VPN) devices and other accessories
- Computer software specific to each position, with Microsoft Teams being used companywide for videoconferencing
- On-demand online education through LinkedIn Learning, a video-based training platform with more than 5,000 business, technology and creativity courses—including nearly 100 digital resources about remote work
- Virtual ergonomic evaluations to make sure home workstations are set up for optimal long-term health and productivity
