Yes. Kong's roles in the US and Canada are generally remote, while roles in its office cities elsewhere, including London, Paris, Milan, Bengaluru, Singapore and Sydney, are usually hybrid, with 2 to 3 office days a week where the posting states them. Each posting sets its own arrangement, so read the posting text as well as its location tag.
Kong holds a monthly AMA where new hires meet members of the executive leadership team, and new joiners get a shout-out at the Worldwide Kong Update. Kong also runs a channel called Cheers and Celebrate. In Kong's words, "As you grow, informal communication becomes harder, so you have to be much more intentional about keeping people connected and informed."
