This is achievable through generous time off policies, including five paid firm holidays annually in addition to regular holidays and PTO. Our numerous locations throughout the Bay Area mean employees can work closer to home and use the time saved commuting to work on more fulfilling activities. There are regular firm-sponsored celebrations and outings, where employees develop strong working relationships.
