Real Chemistry follows a Real Hybrid and Regional Teams (Real HART) approach: employees within a one-hour commute of an office are required to attend in-person two days per week (either at a Real Chemistry office or onsite with clients). Employees in regions without a nearby office may work remotely and gather throughout the year for collaboration, culture-building, learning, and team connection. Specific expectations will be discussed during the interview process.
