We work hard, but are well-rounded (and well-rested). Hanging with coworkers is encouraged. So is taking vacation (we’ve got a $1k vacation bonus), getting out of here at a reasonable hour, year-long Summer Fridays, and obviously getting a great night sleep (our day starts at 10am).

Not the type of place where you wait for your boss to quit before you can get promoted. New projects and business needs pop up every single day, and we always look internally first.

And don’t just take our word for it! We’re honored to be recognized by various industry tastemakers for the work we’ve put into our culture and employee engagement, including accolades from LinkedIn Top Startups (in 2020and2021!) and Inc.’s Best Workplaces.
Everyone is welcome at Brooklinen - we’re passionate about building a team that reflects the diversity of our community and creating an environment where our differences are celebrated. We invite you totake a lookat how we’ve done so far and where we know we need to do better.
