Frequently Asked Questions
Playground operates on a 9–6 in-office schedule with a full hour for lunch, and team members are genuinely encouraged to step away and enjoy that break. We aim to create sustainable workdays that support both productivity and connection.
We focus on outcomes over hours. There’s no expectation of evening or weekend work, and we don’t celebrate burnout. If someone feels overwhelmed or unable to complete work during normal hours, our founders actively encourage building better processes, leveraging tools or revisiting prioritization rather than simply working longer.
We also prioritize hiring for capacity as we grow, rather than stretching existing team members too thin. Our founders are building for the long term, and want the team to be able to do the same.
Employees are encouraged to use all of their PTO and fully disconnect to recharge. We believe sustained high performance comes from balanced, energized teams.
We believe the strongest collaboration and relationships are built through the informal, day-to-day interactions that happen in person. For that reason, Playground operates as a fully in-office company.
At the same time, we recognize that life happens. We provide occasional work-from-home flexibility when appropriate to support individual circumstances. Our goal is to balance the benefits of in-person collaboration with a practical, human approach to flexibility when it’s needed.
