WHY WE'RE A BEST PLACE TO WORK

Arcadia was founded on the belief that choosing clean energy shouldn't be complicated or expensive--for anyone. This drive for greater simplicity, empowerment, access, and environmental sustainability permeates through every aspect of the company's culture. Our core tenets are the guiding force in everything we do. These tenets include: build for good, build for all, build with urgency, build for simplicity, and build together. We believe in taking care of our employees and maintaining a diverse workplace.

WHY WE'RE A BEST PLACE TO WORK

We're a human-centered organization. And since our founding in 2002, we've made business decisions to support this core value. We haven't taken institutional investment, which lets us make the right decisions for our culture. Since we are fully remote, our team members have flexibility to maintain a schedule and work-life balance that works for their circumstances. Such freedom means our employees have the space to cultivate their skills and give us their best work but still enjoy their lives.

Aryaka puts culture first in several ways. We offer quality health care plans to our employees, for which they only have to pay $135 a month for medical, dental, and vision coverage. Families can receive complete coverage for as little as $300 a month through Aryaka. We are also creating educational initiatives within the company, which can help our staff grow in their roles and better serve the company moving forward. We are giving back to the community through food banks and other charities in California.

We have a diverse culture that allows everyone to feel respected, valued, and heard. To achieve this culture, we apply the same design principles we use on our product. We take an iterative approach to our programs, processes, and goals without losing core values along the way. We place managers and leaders at the bottom of our organizational chart to emphasize their role in supporting the rest of the company as it reaches upward. We distribute authority throughout the structure with areas of responsibility to create a flexible organization that empowers employees to take ownership of processes and make decisions.

Avian respects each of our government and commercial clients immensely. However, we believe that our people are the most important asset of our company. We take care of one another, ensuring that our team members have the freedom to do quality work and live their lives the way they want. Half of our employees have been on an employee stock ownership plan since 2018, and we cultivate a culture of advancement and growth throughout the company.
