Life at Sockeye
Where Values and Community Thrive
At Sockeye, our company culture is the cornerstone of our success. We believe in creating an environment where giving back, innovation, growth, work-life balance, and a strong sense of community are not just ideals, but everyday practices. Our culture is designed to support our employees in every aspect, ensuring they feel valued, connected, and inspired to contribute their best. Guided by our core values—Believe It's Possible, Live with Integrity, Empower to Succeed, See the Big Picture, Value Your Work, and Challenge the Status Quo—we strive to make every day at Sockeye fulfilling and impactful. Here's a glimpse into what makes Sockeye a unique and rewarding place to work.
REMOTE WORK AND
WORK-LIFE BALANCE
At Sockeye, our focus on remote work and work-life balance ensures our employees feel supported, connected, and empowered to manage their time effectively.
Flexible Scheduling
We encourage employees to block off time for lunch breaks, personal appointments, parenting duties, and more, offering flexibility to make up hours within the same pay period if needed.
Employee
Engagement Surveys
Through regular surveys on Surveyplanet, we gauge employee connectedness, preferences for activities, and areas for improvement.
Team-Building
We occasionally use Triviamaker for fun, engaging online trivia games during meetings and we host quarterly virtual team-building events, ensuring remote work remains interactive and enjoyable. Hear from Nick Brorson, CEO of Sockeye on other tools and services to help booth remote employee engagement!
Catch and Release Days
Upon eligibility, every month employees get one Friday off to use however they like—whether it's relaxing and recharging, traveling, self-care, running errands, or really anything! Click here to learn more about our benefits!
Meeting Free Fridays
We believe in the power of uninterrupted time, so we keep Fridays free from company-wide meetings.
A SENSE OF COMMUNITY
At Sockeye, we foster a strong sense of community, even in a remote environment. For example, we encourage team members to form clubs aligned with their interests, such as our Book Club, which connects through Microsoft Teams channels and virtual meetings. Our team-based approach allows small groups to meet frequently, building close-knit relationships. Despite being remote, we provide ample opportunities for connection and camaraderie, maintaining a sense of community that rivals in-person organizations. This combination of flexibility and community makes Sockeye standout, where professional bonds thrive in a supportive and engaging environment.
Innovation and Growth
Innovation and growth are at the heart of everything we do at Sockeye. We believe in fostering a culture that encourages creativity, celebrates achievements, and supports professional development. Here are a few of the ways we do so:
SIIC Day

Giving Back
At Sockeye, giving back is woven into the fabric of our culture. We are dedicated to making a positive impact through a variety of engaging initiatives.
Sockeye Charity Showdown
Employees went head to head in games of Checkers, Battleship, and Uno while colleagues placed friendly bets. Through this competition and generous donations, we’ve raised over $1,500 for 20 incredible charities, turning game time into a force for good. Watch some snippets of the event here!
Virtual Auctions
Our Sock-Eye on the Prize charity auction is a highlight of the year. We have a virtual live auction event that in the past has featured unique items like artwork, a day off work, resort stays, and even a personalized song with a music video upgrade option. Employees eagerly donate items, and the excitement continues with a silent auction of over 40 items. Read up on our Sock-EYE on the Prize event here!
Volunteer Time Off
We believe in empowering our employees to give back to their communities. Each team member is offered one extra paid day off per year to volunteer for a cause they are passionate about.
At Sockeye, our commitment to a vibrant company culture is evident in everything we do. From our engaging charity initiatives and innovative growth programs to our flexible remote work policies and strong sense of community, we strive to create an environment where our employees can thrive both personally and professionally. Guided by our core values, we ensure that every action we take and every program we implement reflects our dedication to excellence and integrity. We are proud of the supportive, dynamic, and inclusive culture we've built, and we believe it is the key to our continued success and the satisfaction of our team.
