Other Details

• Workplace flexibility: Our office and focus group facility is located at 6702 Buckley Rd. in Syracuse, yet we offer full remote flexibility for the position. We embrace and encourage you to work wherever you are most productive. Success is based on what you do, not where you do it. Before and after COVID, employees were and will be encouraged to work at the office. We entice our employees to get together in-person with on-site happy hours, Nintendo, ping pong, and a slew of snacks at the office. Each employee develops their own mix of in-office work versus remote work.
