What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Everyone is kind, understanding, and realizes there is more to live than work and money.

The founders have a vision of being excellent at your craft with a work life balance. Never give this up, it rocks!

Review from Engineering Dept

The founders place great emphasis on the remote culture and it's advantages of location flexibility and time for hobbies,relaxing and friends/family. It's something I admire and am very happy to be part of!

Transparency. Help Scout is a remote culture and for that to be successful, embedded in our DNA is full transparency across the organization with an emphasis on effective communication.

Our People Ops team keeps this ship sailing. Their energy and love trickle down to the entire team.

Supportive, humble, vulnerable, kind, and very helpful!
