How We Work
Hybrid at Flatiron
Why hybrid?
At Flatiron, attracting and inspiring a diverse team is essential to our success. People are at the core of our competitive advantage, and our people-centric culture guides how we work together to achieve our mission, vision, and strategic objectives. Our hybrid work approach is built on the foundation of flexibility and clarity because that's what optimizes productivity and well-being. We are excited to share our approach with you below!
How hybrid works
Flex
For employees who work out of our NY HQ, SF, or SLC office at least twice a week.
Flex is the way the majority of Flatiron employees work. It’s designed to empower employees to choose office days based on a mix of business and personal needs. As a Flex employee, you’ll enjoy perks such as in-person social connections, events, access to team/leadership, office tech & resources, and lunch.
Office
For employees who work out of our NY HQ at least three times a week.
Office is designed for those who prefer working at our headquarters for the majority of their work week. In addition to the perks enjoyed by our Flex employees, you will have a designated desk, and the opportunity to contribute to the evolution of our HQ vibe.
Remote
For employees who primarily work from home.
Remote is designed for employees who primarily work from home. You may travel to our Flatiron offices for important events, but the frequency of travel will vary depending on your team and role. You will build virtual relationships, align hours with your primary collaborators, and have the opportunity for in-person meetups with other remote employees in concentrated areas.
As of June 12, the Remote option will no longer be offered for most positions and will instead only be offered in certain instances based on the needs of the role and team. See our FAQ section for more information.
We recognize that a short-term change of place can be valuable for office-based employees, so we also offer Flex and Office the opportunity to work remotely from a domestic or international location for up to four consecutive weeks per calendar year, with manager approval through our Work from Anywhere Program.

Candidate FAQs
I’m excited to select a work type. Where do I begin?
We want you to choose the work type that best suits you and your way of working. For roles that don't require significant office accountabilities we leave the decision to be Flex or Office up to you!
Please keep in mind only roles with a unique use case are open to Remote at this time and the job description will make this clear.
How should I plan on building my weekly schedule?
We trust you to create a schedule that works for you, while keeping in mind any guidelines established by your team– your talent acquisition partner will be sure to communicate these to you during your interview process.
We know that life can be unpredictable, and unexpected situations may arise so don’t sweat the small stuff. If you need to work from home more than usual or on a different day than normal due to doctor appointments, childcare disruptions, etc we just ask you to communicate with your manager and team.
What type of technology does Flatiron invest in to encourage hybrid collaboration?
We understand that hybrid collaboration, where some employees work in the office and some work remotely, can be challenging. Over the years we have invested in hybrid technology such as Neat bars that provide a great meeting experience for both virtual and in-person attendees, as well as virtual collaboration tools like Miro.
I applied for a Remote opportunity before June 12. How does this new policy impact me?
If you had applied for a Remote opportunity before June 12, you will still be considered for a full-time Remote position.
If you apply to any of our open opportunities on or after June 12 then you will automatically default to Flex unless otherwise stated on your job description.
This all sounds great but I have a few more questions! What resources are available to me?
We’ve got you covered! Your talent acquisition partner is here to help. We encourage you to reach out to them directly for any additional questions you might have regarding our hybrid work policy.
