How We Work

People-first approach

An open, collaborative ecosystem with a sustainable impact focus.

Evaluate performance on progress to goals
Flexible work style/pace
ideas come from everyone
Drive Agreement on deliverables

VFC measures efficacy, not just effort. Work smarter, recharge, rinse, repeat.

Like any fast moving organization, we value autonomy and are results-oriented, but we’re accommodating about the working style/pace that gets you there.

In a world turned upside down, we offer benefits packages that balance pre-pandemic best-practices and the supports whole people need to thrive today.
