Weโre a lean but ambitious team of ~85 spread across the globe (UK, Europe & North America). We may be geographically spread out, but weโre tied by our mission to radically change how teams communicate ideas spatially and expressively from anywhere.
Our focus is on output and getting the work done, not counting the hours you work. We appreciate that everyone has their own optimum setup, and so provide flexibility in terms of when and where you get work done.
