An Insider's view of Highspot

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

Highspot truly believes in a work-life balance. On multiple occasions my manager has encouraged me to take off days to spend with visiting friends and family or to take advantage of a nice afternoon to get outside and exercise. Highspot also provides 10 "Recharge Friday's" a year which equates to 2 weeks of built in vacation per year.

Tommy

Manager, SMB/Commercial Sales

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

My favorite guiding principal is "Collaborate Across Boundaries". People and collaboration is the foundation of the growth of a project, a team and a company. Through various collaborations, resources can be best used and new innovative ideas will come out and thrive. I appreciate this guiding principal as that's the driver of the future.

Daisy

Engineering Manager

What does career growth look like on your team?

The opportunities for career growth was one of the reasons I joined Highspot. On the Services Team you can move all the way up to a Principal Services Executive or a Solution Architect role for those with deep product knowledge and interest. Alternatively, Highspot does a great job of supporting employees on their Managerial journey as well.

Malaika

From Highspot’s beginning, we have focused on building a team of people who collaborate across boundaries and an environment where people are free to bring their full selves to the office every day.

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?
