Claridians in a hybrid mode split their time between working from the office, talking to or visiting customers, or working from home. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for each individual and team.

We don’t enforce a minimum number of days for most roles, but you’re expected to spend time at the office organically, and be at the office most days during your ramp-up or when required by your leader.
