What it is like working for Visionaries

Working remotely is a challenge and requires extra effort from team members to build a strong company culture. We do regular video conference calls to catch up on work and have friendly discussions; it is not always about work. We believe in “focus time” or “Flow”, a set number of hours per day during which team members can be super productive. Flow time differs for everyone; that is why we have flexible hours. We believe that because work is a part of life, parents should be able to pick up their kids from school and attend to the need of their loved ones while enjoying a fulfilling career. We have a weekly online gaming session during the weekend.  

As we build a culture remotely, honesty is one of our most important values. We trust that everyone in the team is working towards the same goal and holding each other accountable for our company values.  

At Visionaries, we celebrate differences and care deeply about diversity and inclusion. We encourage everyone to apply for this job who thinks they would be a fantastic addition to our team.
