Cockroach Labs - New York, NY
posted 4 months ago
About the position
Cockroach Labs is seeking to foster a collaborative and engaging workplace environment through an office-first approach. Employees, referred to as Roachers, are expected to come into one of the company’s offices on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, while enjoying the flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week. This hybrid model is designed to enhance connection, creativity, and enjoyment among team members, which are seen as vital components of effective collaboration and productivity. The company recognizes the lessons learned from remote work but emphasizes that in-person interactions are irreplaceable in building a strong team culture and achieving optimal performance. The company is committed to creating a workplace that not only encourages collaboration but also allows employees to perform at their best. This commitment is reflected in their policies and practices, which aim to support a dynamic and inclusive work environment. Cockroach Labs values the contributions of its employees and strives to provide a setting where creativity can flourish and teamwork is prioritized. The company also acknowledges that while remote work has its benefits, the synergy created through face-to-face interactions is essential for fostering innovation and a sense of community among Roachers. It is important to note that remote-based designations are primarily reserved for roles that are required to be in-region, specifically in Field Sales, Sales Engineering, and Enterprise Architecture. However, exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis for niche or expert roles, subject to the discretion of the executive team. This approach ensures that the company maintains a balance between flexibility and the need for in-person collaboration, ultimately aiming to create a productive and enjoyable work environment for all employees.
