Frequently Asked Questions

Job Satisfaction

Resident supports employee job satisfaction through a combination of meaningful work, thoughtful management practices, and a flexible, remote-first operating model.

Employees are provided with opportunities for growth and development, competitive compensation and bonus structures, and managers who are encouraged to offer consistent feedback, recognition, and support. Roles are designed to contribute to broader business goals, helping employees understand how their work connects to company outcomes.

As a remote-first company, Resident emphasizes flexibility and ways of working that are intended to be sustainable over time. Benefits and programs are designed to support employee well-being and help reduce day-to-day friction, and we repeatedly hear from employees how much they love our benefits and wellness perks. 

Resident also takes a data-informed approach to employee experience. The company regularly reviews engagement feedback, facilitates listening sessions and coffee chats, and evolves programs and practices based on employee input and business needs. People Operations (HR) partners with leaders across the organization to monitor trends and identify opportunities for continuous improvement. The relationship between People Operations and Resident leadership and employees is one that is high-touch, agile, and thoughtful. We hear this repeatedly in our listening sessions and employee engagement survey. 

As one indicator of these efforts, Resident reported a 92% employee engagement rate in 2025 and an average employee tenure of 3.24 years (for a Company founded less than 10 years ago!). The company has also been recognized by Built In as the number one Best Place to Work for three consecutive years, reflecting positive employee feedback on culture, benefits, and flexibility.

I joined Resident in 2017 and have seen incredible growth, but our North Star remains the same: trust in our people. We hire smart, curious minds and give them ownership, not micromanagement. That trust creates space for ideas to thrive—and helps us outmaneuver competitors year after year.
