Create good work for good clients and enjoy the process.
We realize our mission by:

Total Compensation Package
When we created Anchor & Alpine we wanted to create a company that takes good care of employees and covers all the benefits. We have opted for shorter working hours. At just 30 hours per week we work 75% of a normal 40 hour work week or 50% of a typical tech/startup 60 hour work week. We also believe in a lot of days off—we offer 15 company holidays plus three weeks off per year. In order to make this a reality we opted to be lean on salaries and to make revenue sharing, benefits, and other perks be the main focus.
Your base salary is a percentage of your total compensation package (also called fully burdened cost). It accounts for about 80% of your compensation package.
Candidates that pass the phone screening and second interview will be able to review the employee handbook.

We value diversity and believe the best ideas come from different places. We support a group that is diverse in age, sexual and gender orientation, race, and religions.
We are a company that values progressive social issues, we believe in and support the rights of women, LGBTQAI+, indigenous peoples, historically marginalized races/groups, people of determination, and all human beings.
We value input as well as output and listen carefully to lived experiences of individuals and the cultures they come from. We build better when we work together with a diverse team.
