Culture Is Our Best Product
We are passionate about building solutions based on open source software and understand that our employees are core to the products we make, the customers we support, and the open source communities we serve. We are positive and supportive in our work environment, whether in the office or online; and believe in helping each other with openness, honesty and respect. Activators have the opportunity to continually innovate, pursue passion projects and grow their careers.
Be Part of a Diverse, Inclusive Team
ActiveState is committed to building a culture of diversity and inclusion. We foster an environment where the thoughts and views of everyone are supported. This goal starts at the top with our Executive Committee and permeates throughout our organization. Treating each other with respect and making great products that just work is what we are all about.
Collaborate from Anywhere in the World with Virtual Meet-ups and Check-ins
ActiveState supports a “work from anywhere” approach that gives Activators the freedom to pick the location they find most comfortable. We provide all the hardware and software needed to ensure Activators can be productive, wherever they work. Working in the office? In these days of COVID, we help make sure you can maintain physical distancing. Working from home? Our daily virtual huddles and Slack check-ins keep us motivated.
Drive to the Goal Line with Complete Transparency
We’re firm believers that alignment towards common goals requires complete transparency. From our ActiveState Playbook to quarterly departmental metrics and financial performance, we “open the books” to all Activators in our monthly meetings. Voice your thoughts and feedback in our daily polls, regular employee surveys or face-to-face with our open-door policy.
