He was looking to join a company where he could be himself, grow, and feel welcomed into a community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To me, company culture means everything. It\u2019s <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> something that can be written into a policy and magically come into fruition. Defining a strong culture takes practice<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At RingCentral, community, teamwork, and inclusivity make up the fabric of the culture and these values surface everyday. RingCentral\u2019s working environment made the decision to work here easy. From the get-go I was treated like a person and seen as an individual. During my onboarding process, everyone made an effort to welcome and get to know me.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Teamwork makes the dream work.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, that\u2019s a clich\u00e9. But for Matt, it couldn\u2019t be more true. As a new hire, Matt shared how he learned about RingCentral\u2019s values by experiencing the \u2018all hands on deck\u2019 company philosophy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At RingCentral we are all lifting the same brick to accomplish our collective goals<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When I started, our President gave me his phone number on a Post-it note and told me to call him if I ever needed help,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d Matt explained. This gesture is indicative of the larger company culture which is rooted in community. For example, through the RingCentral app, employees are able to chat about work and personal topics. \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when I got a kitten, I reached out on the \u2018Cats of RingCentral\u2019 channel to ask for some advice. I was totally amazed by how many people responded to share their two cents. This experience, among many, has made me feel welcomed and excited to be a part of RingCentral\u2019s tight-knit community.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Career growth and personal balance.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s one thing to feel welcomed. It\u2019s a whole other thing to feel seen and listened to. From the beginning, Matt experienced all three<\/span><b>.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my first few weeks with RingCentral, I have already felt supported in my career development and growth. I believe in the importance of doing something you are passionate about and I feel that RingCentral echoes this belief. My managers ask me what I want and help me achieve my goals to succeed.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To that end, while doing the work is really important, finding balance is arguably just as valuable. \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During my first week, I was happy to see one of my co-workers hit the office gym in the middle of the day. It is reassuring to work for a company that enables employees to accomplish their personal goals too.\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Matt, witnessing a co-worker take a break, sent the message to him that it was okay to recharge<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>Fun and gamers.<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If unpracticed, work-life balance is just a pie-in-the-sky concept. Instead, RingCentral tries to practice what we preach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral\u2019s company ethos motivated Matt to join groups and engage in special events. \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am a member of RC Gamers and this year I am going to be the Belmont representative for the Mario Kart tournament during video game day. I am also looking forward to attending RingChella<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (hat tip: Coachella)<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a summer dance party and barbeque. I can\u2019t wait to boogie on the dance floor to Wonder Bread\u2014it\u2019s going to be a blast!<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Matt was job searching, his top priority was to find a culture fit; at RingCentral he found what he was seeking.
