Q&A With Beachbody Employees
At Beachbody, our culture is informally professional. Much like our dress code, it’s relaxed, casual, comfortable, and diverse. You’ll see people in everything from workout clothes, to jeans and a t-shirt, to khakis and a button-down. The only time you’ll see anyone in suits is if we’re shooting a promo video for one of our products or going to a special event. We work fast, but not at the expense of excellence. We work hard, but we try to have fun while we do it. We’re spirited, irreverent, friendly, and energized, so if that’s how you roll, then you might want to roll with us.
