"At e.l.f., we see each other as people first. We are humans with full lives and that is embraced. When our kids photo bomb Zoom meetings, people smile and say hello. It's okay to "admit" you have kids and to acknowledge you need to miss a meeting for your kid's class party. We are encouraged to get to know each other and build those personal relationships so that our work interactions are stronger and we can provide direct feedback in a safe environment and always assume good intent."

Employees say:
"The way e.l.f. promotes togetherness [is unique]. It is encouraged to get to know your coworkers on a personal level. The office I work out of will put together a happy hour where we relax, play games, and recognize others' accomplishments. For example, one of my managers was recently promoted, and the first thing we did was plan a celebration. We played games, ate food, and talked as peers. At the happy hour he gave a small speech to the team, and during his speech he expressed gratitude to his team for trusting him to make the correct decisions. I could not think of working for a better company."
