What's the Company Culture Like at Ellevation Education?

Ellevation Education Employee Perspectives

The off-site and benefits like flexible leave really speak to the values we have as a company — including “Go and See,” “Build Belonging” and “Win Together” — which are reflected in our product, policies, people and benefits packages.

Ben McNelly, Director of Product Marketing

We’ve created a space of vulnerability, which is what helps our team move forward really quickly. I like to say we succeed fast and fail fast.

At Ellevation Education, mutual respect isn’t just a policy — it’s our way of life, and it’s reflected  in our dedication to each other’s success. We’re creating a work culture that’s as close-knit as it is widespread, and that’s something pretty special.

I have a level of trust with people on my team that you don’t find everywhere. We are very collaborative. Designers, product managers and engineers meet throughout the week to ensure we are working toward the same goals and solving problems together.
