HackerOne Celebrates Global Work from Home Day – Source:www.hackerone.com

To celebrate Global Work from Home Day on April 10, we are sharing what working from home means to HackerOne employees and how they encourage innovation and collaboration in a digital first workplace. Learn more about what digital first means straight from the source – HackerOne employees! 

Flexibility Redefined

One of the advantages of digital first work is the flexibility it offers employees. Our recent employee engagement survey tells us that flexibility is important to working at HackerOne. A physical office does not constrain employees; they can tailor their environment to individual preferences. 

“Embracing the digital first work life at HackerOne is a delightful mix of home comforts and global connections. Enjoying my home-brewed coffee, going for a short jog nearby, and then hitting the shower before continuing work keeps me revitalized. It’s a fun, unconventional mix, perfect for when your colleagues are a staggering 5,445 miles away! This unique setup allows me to tweak my hours, staying connected with my team across various time zones.”

Martzen Haagsma, Manager of Infrastructure Engineering,  Eindhoven, Netherlands

Collaboration Knows No Bounds

Our digital first approach encourages innovation and creativity across teams, allowing employees to communicate and collaborate with each other and customers, regardless of their physical location. As a result, this has fostered a culture of inclusivity and teamwork, making employees more efficient.

“At HackerOne, our digital first ethos not only enhances productivity but also fosters a sense of unity and empowerment among team members, making it an ideal place for me to thrive.”

Eda Ibrisim, Senior HRIS Manager, Miami, Florida, United States

“Working from home has been a game-changer for me. Instead of being stuck in traffic when commuting, I’ve used that time to let my creativity flow. Plus, it’s made me way more flexible with my schedule to hop on a call with my customers.”

Lee O’Brien-Riley, Senior Customer Account Executive, Liverpool, United Kingdom

Empowering Personal and Professional Interests

HackerOne’s digital first culture has enabled HackerOne employees to take ownership of their personal and professional interests by granting them autonomy in their work environments.

“Digital first means I have flexibility, more time to care for myself and my family, and time to do the things I love outside of work. If I need a break from coding, I’m steps away from my crafting room and can release some energy at my sewing machine. I can go for long walks or sports lessons in between meetings. I make my own schedule and feel much more productive and empowered. ”

Nathalia Coutinho, Software Engineer II, Amsterdam, Netherlands

“A flexible schedule allows me to volunteer in my local community with an organization that benefits from my expertise and passion. I get hands-on experience that directly translates into my professional role.”

Pamela Greenberg, Director of Talent Strategy, San Francisco, California, United States

Making Time for What Matters

Remote work empowers employees to prioritize their well-being and make time for their family and friends while still fulfilling professional obligations. Eliminating the stress of a commute and accommodating different household schedules are two reasons a flexible schedule works for employees.  

“The best part? I get to be there for my family. I’ve watched my little girls grow up, catching those moments I would have missed otherwise, and for that, I’m forever thankful.”

Lee O’Brien-Riley, Senior Customer Account Executive, Liverpool, United Kingdom
