CULTURE

How do you show employees you appreciate them?

Probably the two biggest ways is through intentional listening and giving our teams the freedom to take the lead in solving some of the world's biggest challenges. We hire the best in the world and give them the tools to guide us to success. Frequent social events like mini-golf, axe-throwing and the annual summer pool party are also great opportunities to show our team how appreciative we are.

How are you creating a workplace of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging?

We take an active approach to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging beginning with recruiting and continuing throughout each employee's time at Phoenix. We strive to ensure everyone on the team and those considering joining feel welcome and that their experience and ideas will be valued. We believe diversity of thought/perspective to be one of our greatest assets.

Why should someone work at your company?

Number one thing is that they want to make a deep impact on the work in a positive way and have the hustle to make it happen. If you are passionate about ensuring that the materials that power clean technologies are as environmentally beneficial as the solutions they enable, then we want to talk with you!
