Our work in a fast-paced, agile, always-changing industry requires consistent face-to-face interaction with open problem-solving among and between groups of employees. Because of this, we do not have regular work-from-home allowances for employees based out of one of our offices. We strive to make our office environments flexible, fun, and easy to be collaborative with your team. That said, we allow for employees to "flex-to-home" as needed when the one-off situation arises and we are proud to be of the only employers to offer an unlimited Personal Time Off Policy for full time employees in the United States.
This role will be based in our Chicago, Illinois office located in the iconic Marshall Field’s Building with several amenities including an inhouse gym membership funded by Aeris fully.
