Review from Product Dept

We foster open communication and every member of the organization is empowered to contribute to the conversation.

Review from Engineering Dept

I have a great manager at the company that really makes the culture positive.

Review from Marketing Dept

There is a consistent commitment towards continued education on social topics such as race, harassment, and sexism. Not in the way that some companies offer education where it feels like they are forced to do it, but BEGiN seems genuinely committed to growth in those areas.

I like that they go out of their way to find people that align with the company values.

The freedom to think of and test ideas. The constant need to improve or do better is a great culture.

Review from Marketing Dept

How friendly and accepting everyone is.

Diverse group of people are welcomed.

Everyone treats each other with kindness and respect - I feel this is essential for everyone to be able to do their best work.

Review from Design Dept

It's generally a collaborative environment and people are well intentioned. The tone is kind though demanding at the same time.

Review from Marketing Dept

People here are respectful and professional.
