What's the Company Culture Like at Huntress?
Frequently Asked Questions
Culture at Huntress is built for people who want to do work that matters, with teammates who keep it real and have each other’s backs.
You’ll see it fast in onboarding: new teammates go through a two-week Huntress Academy experience that covers who we are, what we do, and how we work, including our products, values, brand, and our BElonging culture. The goal is to help you feel welcomed, get context quickly, and ramp with less guesswork.
Our day-to-day culture is grounded in our core values: Own It. Elevate It. Send It.That shows up as teammates taking responsibility, sharing what they know, and moving work forward without waiting for perfect conditions.
Recognition at Huntress is meant to be timely, specific, and easy to see, not hidden in a private “great job” message. One of the most visible ways we do that is Bonusly: teammates can give public kudos tied to a specific contribution and a Huntress value (like #ownit, #elevateit, #sendit, or #BElonging), and those shout-outs show up in places people actually look, including the #kudos Slack channel.
We also build recognition into how managers lead. Our “Always Aligned” 1:1s in Lattice are designed to keep a continual feedback loop going, and that includes calling out when you’re crushing expectations, explaining why it mattered, and what “next level” looks like (not just tracking tasks).
The goal is a culture where anyone can recognize anyone for big wins, small wins, and the everyday behaviors that make teams work - consistently and fairly, as we grow.
Huntress Employee Perspectives
Preboarding includes everything that we do to prepare teammates for their first day at Huntress, from videos exposing them to the culture, the handbook providing a deep dive into what we are about, swag that is always a show stopper and the introductions to your teammates.
On applicant's interested in AI and working at Huntress:
"We're not looking for people who already have it all figured out. We want people who are willing to learn, because that's where the interesting stuff comes from. The innovation shows up when someone opens up to how AI could change the way they actually work, not when they already know all the answers on day one. You don't have to be an engineer or an "AI expert." You just have to be curious enough to try."
