Our Culture
We’re unique!
Some may describe us as being quirky in a fun way because we like to celebrate our differences; both personally and professionally. Our team is comprised of some of the brightest, humble, most caring, compassionate, and determined group you’ll ever meet.
We provide our employees with an environment to embrace new opportunities so they can constantly grow and exceed expectations. This allows employees to gain exposure to different industries, new technologies, and be part of an employee-centric culture where ideas, creativity, and free-flowing communications are encouraged.
We also offer a 100% virtual work environment and a flexible schedule, so if you have a special event or family function you want to attend you can leave early. By ditching the commute to work helps you support your mental and physical health.
Things in our world are always changing, and our employees are challenged every day—either by the use of new technologies or by the creation of perspectives through the lens of a kaleidoscope.
Camaraderie, Community and Culture
One of the greatest challenges in a 100% remote work environment is creating a sense of camaraderie and community when your colleagues are sitting in home offices across the United States. It can also be very challenging to create and maintain a thriving company culture. So, how does an organization like IFI get recognized by so many for its great company culture? Part of the secret is to constantly implement new and creative ways for our employees to get to know each other, even when they aren’t part of the same department.
A recent method we adopted was to incorporate a “show and tell” of photos with the entire team during our weekly all-staff calls. Each week one or two members of the team shares a few photos of an experience they’ve had, an organization they’re involved in or photos of something else they are interested in.
Since implementing the program, Yazan traveled to Jordan and shared some photos about his visit to Petra in Turkey, which is known as the “Lost City” and is the 7th wonder of the world. Kristina shared her experiences and some photos regarding being a co-troop leader for Girl Scouts of America. The team learned about where the cookies are made, the values that the girls learn and different events that they participate in throughout the year. Ezekiel shared a photo of his horseback riding experience while in Mexico visiting his wife’s family. Daniel showed us how to zipline upside down in Costa Rica. These “show and tell” experiences allow the team to learn more about those that they work with and helps highlight the diversity within our organization.
The IFI Employee Experience As Described in Our Employee’s Own Words & The Awards We Have Received
In today's fast-paced world, the boundaries between our professional and personal lives often blur, leaving employees craving a more holistic work environment.
At IFI Professionals we redefined employee well-being by taking an innovative approach to care for and support our team. Our motto, "Sharing the IFI Employee Experience," transcends throughout our business and has garnered us several prestigious awards, including recognition as a Best Place to Work, a Great Place to Work Remotely, and a place on Fortune Magazine's list of the Top 100 Small Businesses in the United States.
Let's dive into what these accolades truly mean, as described by the people who make IFI Professionals extraordinary—our employees.

Health & Lifestyle
At IFI Professionals not only do we exercise our minds, but we exercise our bodies as well. IFI supports its employees’ endeavors in constantly learning to enrich their jobs, maintaining a work/life balance, as well as their endeavors to support their health and wellbeing. This is not just a philosophy at IFI, but an action. We provide an exercise allowance to our employees that can be used for a variety of health and wellness activities. The exercise allowance encourages employees to spend time doing the activities that they enjoy, or perhaps trying something new! Our employees participate in various classes and types of fitness that help keep their minds and bodies healthy. Some of these activities include mixed martial arts, strength training, yoga, running, and group fitness classes. While we enjoy exercising healthy lifestyles here at IFI, we still love our carbs and pasta too!

Holiday Celebration
Over the years, we have been very purposeful in creating an organization with a heart and a sense of community, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. We’ve become a place where employees are listened to and where they feel connected, even though we are not in the same building.
We have gone to great lengths to make sure our employees have an opportunity to celebrate the holidays and connect with each other throughout the year, even though employees are in multiple time zones. The month of December is an especially exciting time for our employees. Each year, they receive a holiday gift box with personally wrapped gifts and each team opens their gifts together over Zoom. The experience brings forth a sense of childhood nostalgia, anticipating what surprises might be in each gift, and the excitement of celebrating the holidays with their friends and colleagues.
We hope you enjoy our holiday video that captures some of these special memories of togetherness and celebration.
The IFI Employee Experience
HOW WE KEEP OUR SPIRIT OF TOGETHERNESS WHEN WE WORK 100% VIRTUALLY
As the summer months roll in, we embrace a delightful tradition that brings smiles to our employees' faces: leaving work two hours early every Friday. It's a simple yet meaningful gesture that demonstrates our dedication to work-life harmony. This initiative allows our team to savor the longer days, spend quality time with loved ones, or simply unwind and recharge for the weekend.
But here's the twist, we work in a 100% remote environment with employees in several states and time zones. While remote work offers flexibility, it can sometimes lead to a sense of isolation. However, we have welcomed and conquered the challenge by continuously finding innovative ways to foster team bonds and create a sense of camaraderie, even when miles apart.
During the Fall, we have our yearly Halloween event where employees dress in costumes and we have different types of activities. One year, we even got Jim (our Founder) and Paul (our Principal) to compete against each other virtually in an apple bobbing competition. You never know what we will do next.
In December, we celebrate big. Each employee receives a box full of personally wrapped gifts that they open over Zoom together with their team members. It is an exciting and highly anticipated time waiting to find out what surprises each package holds.
Every other month, we organize special activities that go beyond the mundane. These activities serve a dual purpose: they strengthen team bonds and provide a dash of fun for the workweek. We’ve had live musical performances where even our own team members performed, played Family Feud, had a Stand-Up comedian perform, learned how to decorate cookies and even how to paint. All of these events not only encourage employees to collaborate and think outside the box but also showcase our commitment to keeping the spirit of togetherness alive.
Who Are We?
Each member of our team is more than a number or “just” an employee: we’re uniquely human and treat each other with dignity and respect.
Our company fosters a spirit of camaraderie. We’re talented and creative and that transfers over into our organization’s culture. You’ll often find us baking luscious desserts, drawing, creating jewelry, singing, salsa dancing, playing an instrument, watching our favorite sports team, being foster parents, or challenging our bodies to reach new goals in physical achievements by biking longer distances or hiking more difficult trails.
By working collaboratively, developing solutions, adapting to change, and applying new technologies, we consistently develop key skill sets needed to maintain success in our environment.
As we continue our journey together, we hone our skills and talents with frequent Team Building and Educational Events.
We’ve been seen running around San Clemente with hats, fake mustaches, and a list of clues trying to figure out “Who Done It?” on our Murder Mystery Team Challenge.
We demonstrated our culinary talents and subsequently enjoyed the meal we made together.
Even throughout Covid, we’ve adapted and implemented new and creative ways of coming together and strengthening our bonds.
We celebrate personal milestones such as birthdays, delight in the arrival of a new baby, and are constantly soliciting input and thoughts on how to do things better. We value each other!
We hold ourselves accountable and with that comes “Big Freedom”, but also “Big Accountability” to constantly stretch ourselves and look ahead to see what’s possible on the horizon.
We believe in ourselves, our product, and our organization. We know that if we provide unique and incomparable employee experiences, it will equate to the same type of positive experience for our customers.
That’s what it means to share the IFI experience with us.
Our values spell “LEAD”
And together we’re trailblazers in our business and community

Driving for excellence means being the best we can be and going above-and-beyond what is expected. Constantly strive to do better and be better.
Community involvement
We’re proud to volunteer in our community where we actively seek out opportunities to have a positive impact and help those who are less fortunate.
When Covid-19 struck, we had to come up with a more creative way of continuing our community outreach while protecting our employees and others from the virus. As an organization, we identified “3” key organizations who needed assistance.
Each employee selects an organization that resonates with their personal values and IFI makes a monthly cash contribution on the behalf of the employee. This is our way of continuing to give back during a time of crisis. We look forward to the day when we can get back out in the field and volunteer with our local charities hands-on again.
Charities We Actively Support
We actively support the following charities every month,
on behalf of our employees.
Things we like to do together to celebrate us!

Statement
At IFI, we don’t just accept differences — we celebrate them! We know by having a diverse organization it benefits our employees, our customers and our community. IFI is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of creed, gender, national origin (includes, but is not limited to the individual’s or ancestor’s’ actual or perceived physical, cultural, or linguistic characteristics associated with a national origin group or marital to membership in or association with persons of a national origin group), religion, marital status, registered domestic partner status, age, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition including genetic characteristics, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, gender transition, Veteran’s status, political affiliation, or any other consideration made unlawful by federal, state, or local laws. It also prohibits unlawful discrimination based on the perception that anyone has any of those characteristics or is associated with a person who has or is perceived as having any of those characteristics. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements. If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation, please let us know by notifying us.
Career Opportunities - "All Opportunities Are Remote"
All of our career opportunities at IFI are remote. Some of the clear advantages of working remotely include cost savings (estimated at $7,000 per year), an enhanced work/life balance, and ditching the morning/afternoon commute! A remote work environment provides our employees with the ability to stay with relatives, support family or friends during an emergency, and simply be able to work from anywhere.
We do remote so well, an employee that worked remotely with another company prior to IFI commented that their experience here has been completely different; they don’t feel like they are adrift at sea. However, while they commented that their employer did well within the remote work sphere, IFI does it much better.
Our employees communicate and collaborate seamlessly, without feeling like they are alone on an island. To achieve this, we utilize several applications that foster communication and teamwork within our organization, and we provide our employees with all the equipment necessary for a safe and productive workspace. These items along with our monthly team building and educational activities provides our employees with an exciting culture and team environment at IFI Professionals!
