Listening to their talented team and making sure everyone’s voice is heard is at the heart of the company culture after all. For example, during the company’s All Hands meetings, the CEO answers questions live provided by employees, and then he works to make changes based on employee feedback. All opinions matter and are valuable at Brivo, whether you are an intern or part of upper management. This is part of Brivo’s emphasis on ensuring that all team members feel empowered to voice their opinions and think ahead in order for the company to evolve rapidly.
