Avant Offices

Hybrid Workspace

Employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.

Avantees work from our office Mon/Tues/Thurs. We hold the majority of our meetings & all-company events (Town Hall, Demo Day) on those days so that we can maximize our in-office time together. On Weds/Fri, many Avantees choose to work from home.

Typical time on-site: 3 days a week
