OpenVPN offers flexible schedules, and full-time team members are free to set their own hours and adjust their schedules as their needs change. However, as a connected team, we also make sure to support each other by remaining available for collaboration and team meetings at key hours. These key hours are set strategically with each department head to ensure everyone has the support and flexibility they need to thrive.

The team has daily meetings at 15:30UA/12:30 UTC/5:30PT, and the mandatory window for team members to overlap is 14:00UA/11:00 UTC/4:00PT to 19:00UA/16:00 UTC/9:00 PT. Outside of those requirements, full-time team members are welcomed and encouraged to create schedules that allow the work-life balance they seek.
