WHY WE'RE A BEST PLACE TO WORK

At Binc, we believe that "Everyone deserves to be where they can be their best." In fact, that is our company's motto and mission. We put our company culture first at every step, which is why we focus on our employees before company profits. We invite employees to offer their input during quarterly companywide meetings. We also have several committees on which employees can participate in the process of honing and improving our company culture.

Our leadership promotes transparency and empowers employees to be their authentic selves in and out of the office. In support of these goals, we have made a significant investment over the past few years in diversity, inclusion and belonging programs. We are also working to address government policies blocking minorities from homeownership. During the pandemic, we doubled down on initiatives to help employees feel supported, including virtual events, a monthly book club, and funding to make access to therapy convenient and affordable. We issued stipends for employees to set up ergonomic home offices and covered home Wi-Fi costs.

Blue Frog culture is our primary focus as we select new employees and develop partnerships. Everyone strives for a culture of ethics, accountability, mutual development, and passion for success. A shared point of view in these key areas has been the single most important factor in scaling our business. Our president says that when employees come into work each day, he wants them to feel like they're hanging out with friends on the living room couch and getting projects done together.

Bolt wants employees to feel connected to one another, happy and passionate about their work. This includes small things, like a collaborative Sonos playlist that anyone can add songs to, or the option to expense coffee trips with your co-workers whenever you want -- the engineering team goes at 3 p.m. every day. Employees love that if you have headphones in, you cannot be disturbed--co-workers must send a Slack message instead. This keeps productivity high and mitigates the risk of causing conflict.
