It's Official: Heady is a Great Place to Work!

There’s often a gap between how fantastic a company believes itself to be — promising aspects like an engaging culture or unlimited PTO — and the lived experience of its employees. For some companies, this gap is a chasm, but for those that emphasize respect and prioritize their employees, perception matches reality. We are thrilled to announce that we have been certified as a Great Place to Work™ for the second year in a row, proving that Heady belongs firmly in the latter category. This year, 97% of employees say that Heady is a great place to work. We are honored, proud, and we take this recognition to heart.

As Heady’s Head of People Operations for over a year now, I’ve found that it's easy to be a team player when your team comprises the most brilliant minds, innovative thinkers, and importantly, the kindest colleagues. The sense of fulfillment and respect I felt from day one has only amplified. Being part of Heady doesn't just feel different; it is different. I wake up happy and excited to start each day. I feel seen. I feel heard. I feel respected. And it feels amazing to know that my colleagues do, too.

I know this is largely because Heady’s culture is based on a people-first philosophy, as well as trust. We’re hired as subject matter experts and treated as such to effect change. At the same time, we have fun, whether it be through our water cooler trivia on Slack, our witty banter, or our excessive use of GIFs. We are diverse, with the majority of our team consisting of foreign employees, immigrants, and first-generation Americans spanning home countries like China, Colombia, India, Mauritius, Mexico, Pakistan, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, and more. We’re also authentic, upholding a truly welcoming culture that’s rooted in psychological safety and well-being. We also welcome change and foster opportunities; several of our employees have transitioned into different career paths or started out as interns and contractors.
