Our Workplace – The Four Freedoms and Compassionate Directness:

Milestone strives to create a workplace environment that cultivates appreciation, discussion and excellence while supporting each employee's following professional freedoms[1]

• The freedom to Be: to bring our full, authentic selves to the workplace.
• The freedom to Become: to improve ourselves and our situations.
• The freedom to Fade: to periodically step back from the spotlight and performance pressure.
• The freedom to Fail: to take risks, conduct experiments, learn from them, and be coached for future opportunities.

Milestone also believes in Compassionate Directness. The model is defined by empowering employees to speak up, give feedback, disagree, and surface problems, pain points and constructive criticism. And to do this immediately, continuously, and with clarity, but also to do it with compassion, empathy and understanding. Compassion and directness are not mutually exclusive — they're independent qualities that can be nurtured. And when brought together, the sum is greater than the parts.

Compensation:

Anticipated Salary Range: $95,000 - $130,000. Performance-based annual or milestone bonuses and potential shares of equity may also be offered and/or earned depending on qualifications in addition to salary.
