REMOTE STRATEGY:

Algolia’s new workplace strategy, Hybrid Remote, is designed to harness the power of the opportunities that remote work offers both employees and the company, while also providing an engaging in-office experience for the times when an employee is in an office. Employee health and safety remain our #1 priority, and the majority of employees will have a high degree of flexibility in choosing if, and when, they come into an office. Our Hybrid Remote model reflects our belief that the importance of the location of an employee is trumped by their impact, contribution, and output.
