"We've looked at how our teams work best, and the data is clear: when people work together in person more often, they thrive - they are more energized, empowered, and they deliver stronger results. As we build the AI products that will define this era, we need the kind of energy and momentum that comes from smart people working side by side, solving challenging problems together. With that in mind, we're updating our flexible work expectations to three days a week in the office."
"We'll roll this out in three phases: 1) starting in Puget Sound at the end of February; 2) expanding to other US locations; 3) and then launching outside the US. Our goal with this change is to provide more clarity and consistency in how we come together, while maintaining the flexibility we know you value. Importantly, this update is not about reducing headcount. It's about working together in a way that enables us to meet our customers' needs."
Leaders say in-person collaboration increases energy, empowerment, and results, especially when building AI products, so flexible work expectations will shift to three onsite days per week. The change will roll out in three phases: starting in Puget Sound at the end of February 2026, then expanding to other US locations, and later launching outside the US. Employees within commuting distance will receive personalized emails and should coordinate with managers and teams to plan schedules. The policy is intended to provide clarity and consistency while preserving schedule flexibility and enhancing workplace safety and security. The update is not intended to reduce headcount.
