Why Work For SEJ?

SEJ’s “Secret Sauce”

We’ve been honing our remote-only workplace culture and best practices for 13 years. The result is an autonomous, global team in 6 countries and 7 time zones that thrives on collaboration, purpose, and no politics. Our best feature? A team that cares about the mastery of their work, the company and our people. Here are also a handful of other reasons why we are awesome…

  • We manage by execution or goals. So long as you get your work done, we’re happy campers.
  • Complete Work/Life Balance. We are piloting a 4 day work week that could become a regular part of our culture. We want you to be operating at 100% capacity, which means that you need to rest.
  • You Can Be Yourself. You don’t have to put on a fake, professional face. You can just be yourself.
  • Major Opportunities for Career Growth. We have big goals and dreams. We are not trying to just be a small business. We promote quickly once we identify talent. It doesn’t matter what your credentials are – it matters what you get done.
  • Anti Red Tape. There are no bureaucratic or lengthy rules getting in the way of getting work done.
  • Supportive Environment. We don’t operate via intense stress or unreasonable top-down deadlines. Everyone wants you to be successful – internal politics are at a minimum here.
  • Pro-Curiosity. We value a growth mindset. Part of that is being curious about how things work and wanting to learn more. We want everyone to get better constantly.
