We offer an HR policy focused on freedom and performance, providing great work flexibility. For employees, we offer the opportunity to work abroad for up to 6 consecutive months each year, as well as to take up to 5 days of remote work per year while traveling by train to facilitate low-carbon personal travel. For interns, the working conditions are also very flexible! At Figen AI, we firmly believe that trust, flexibility, and performance are inseparable. Our remote work policy aims to give everyone the freedom to work from where they feel most productive and fulfilled, while ensuring effective collaboration and tailored support.
We want these provisions to allow each employee to fully express their potential in the service of innovation and quality of service to our clients.
Our goal is to form a team made up of exceptional talents.
1. Our vision: freedom and performance
1.1 Freedom We encourage mobility in all its forms: office, home, coworking, train, or even abroad. Everyone is free to choose their environment, provided they meet performance objectives and legal constraints (visas, taxation, etc.).
Our ambition is to promote work-life balance for all.
1.2 Results rather than time spent We evaluate success based on clear and measurable objectives. Remote work can never hinder cooperation or the quality of service provided to our clients.
We operate based on a culture of experimentation and results.
1.3 Cohesion comes from transparency: Think straight, talk straight Our internal motto is “Think straight, talk straight”: direct transparent communication, setting ambitious goals, regular feedback, and individual support are our pillars. Initiative-taking is encouraged, ambition is collective, and feedback is part of daily life. Even remotely, cohesion is a priority: we regularly organize meeting moments (physical or virtual), team-building sessions, and social rituals to maintain a strong corporate culture. Remote employees have the same access to information, training, and collaboration tools as if they were on-site.
2. Gym access, sustainable mobility allowance, and remote week
2.1 Access to a gym Every employee is offered a gym membership of up to ... euros per month.
2.2 Sustainable mobility allowance As part of its Sustainable Mobility Allowance policy, Figen AI covers up to 900 euros for the purchase or repair of a personal bicycle, including electric bicycles or any other electric personal mobility device.
2.3 Remote week Based on a predetermined annual calendar, Figen AI allows its entire team to work remotely without prior request for one full week each month.
3. Remote work modalities
3.1 Freedom to work abroad (up to 6 consecutive months) Remote work abroad: At Figen AI, any employee can request to work abroad for up to 6 consecutive months.
Subject to validation of administrative aspects (visa, local labor law) and a prior discussion to define objectives and reporting modalities.
During this period, the employee retains most of their social benefits and their salary remains indexed to their original contract.
3.2 Remote work on trains (5 days) Work-on-rail: To promote low-carbon travel, we offer the possibility to work for up to 5 full days per year on board a train, considering travel time as effective working time.
3.3 Flexibility for interns Internships 4-6 months: Interns can benefit from the monthly remote week if the current mission allows it and measurable objectives are set. For integration and skill development reasons, more regular office presence is required at the start.
4. Logistical & financial support
4.1 Subscription to the European Starlink (Nordnet) offer for travelers and workers in white zones in France Guaranteed Internet coverage: For employees regularly traveling or working in white zones, Figen AI covers the subscription if no other reliable high-speed connection is available.
4.2 Equipment and coworking Remote work allocation: Each full-time employee receives ergonomic equipment (monitor, etc.) to facilitate their setup.
4.3 Team travel and meetings Team meetings: Figen AI teams meet physically at least twice a year in inspiring locations (mountain hiking, Cevennes farmhouse, etc.) to strengthen cohesion and innovation.
International offsites: Employees on extended remote work abroad are invited to participate in these offsites to maintain connections.
5. Security and collaborative tools
Equipment and VPN: Figen AI provides a laptop configured with secure access (privacy screen, VPN, and encryption solutions).
Secure cloud tools: We use a set of secure collaborative tools (videoconferencing, instant messaging, shared documents) to streamline communication.
6. Implementation process
Formal request: Any remote work abroad exceeding 4 weeks or in a non-conventional area requires a request at least 30 days before departure.
Feedback: For any extended remote work experience, a debriefing interview is organized upon your return to capitalize on best practices and continuously improve.
