What’s your company’s current working environment for employees
Attensi’s Boston team operates in a hybrid work environment to support and ignite collaboration. The team goes into the 200 Portland Street office (right across North Station) on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week.
At Attensi we collaborate closely both within and across teams, and shy away from siloes and hierarchy. We believe that the real magic happens when empowered and exceptional people with different talents come together to create, innovate, and solve problems. Our ability to do just this has been a key driver in our success story so far, and our approach to working life is designed to enable such collaboration.
What are your company’s core values or how would you best describe the culture at Attensi?
Superfast: We’re constantly creating, experimenting and iterating – at speed. That means we fail fast, learn and go again. If you reckon you can deliver real-world impact at pace, this is the place for you.
People Powered: We believe our people perform at their best when they’re empowered to make decisions, take the lead and trust their judgement. Valuing every individual’s opinions and expertise benefits everyone – from customers to colleagues. Bring your superpowers to the team – and make an impact that matters.
Gamechangers: We are the gamechangers creating pioneering training experiences to help people and organizations grow to be exceptional. We are creative, fun and never take ourselves too seriously. We understand how people work and look to design ever more enjoyable gaming experiences they will want to engage with.
Can you share the details on any diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives?
We’re very proud to have a diverse workforce that represents a breadth of backgrounds in terms of competency, gender, ethnicity, age and culture and are continuing to work to maintain and celebrate this.
What types of activities are employees involved in?
Attensi has an energetic and social working environment. We work hard, but also have a lot of fun.
We have a variety of regular social activities, events, and groups in our Boston office, such as Attensi-days, going to local sporting events, team lunches, after-work drinks, book club, a Dungeons & Dragons group, charitable events, or even getting a team together to run a road race! These are some of the ways in which we ensure we not only work together, but also play together and connect as a team.
Are there any fun facts about the company?
We have a learning-by-doing environment, so we get to use our own product for onboarding and training!
Annually, we travel to our homebase in Oslo, Norway to connect as one unified team. During this trip, we have the unique opportunity to participate in a massive relay race called Holmenkollstafetten where we organize a few teams to run the relay, or cheer from the sidelines!
