We genuinely care for our customers and we are passionate about solving our customers’ sales compensation challenges. Led by a strong set of company values, we play to win and are incentivized to succeed through our employee equity plan.
We’ve adapted well to the work from home lifestyle, and encourage flexible working arrangements. Some of our staff work full time from home, while others prefer working from one of our offices, or a combination of home and office.

Our values speak strongly to who we really are. They mean a lot to us, and we use them every day to make decisions, and of course to hire great people!

• Play to win - we focus on results, have a bias to action and finish what we start
• Paint a clear picture - we’re clear, concise and communicate appropriately
• Be curious - we surface alternative solutions and consistently expand our knowledge
• Work as one - we all pitch in but also hold each other to account
• Do the right thing - we put what’s right for our customers over our own ego

Don’t check every box in our job description? That’s ok! As the Harvard Business Review points out, research conducted by Hewlett Packard shows that men typically apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, while women and those from marginalized groups tend to only apply when they feel they meet 100%. If you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet all of the requirements listed in the job description, please still reach out. We’d love to have a conversation to see if you could be a great fit
