Thank you so much for taking the time to post. Our people are certainly our number one perk! As we get bigger, it’s harder to have consistent social activities amongst the entire org. Each department and team typically do their own activities periodically. Don’t forget about our many sports and extracurricular teams you can join as well! Let us know if there are any other activities you’d like to see implemented down the line, and we’d be happy to look into it.
