Connecting, collaborating, and getting creative: hybrid working in action
May 29
News
It’s in every study or article about working remotely: companies are trying to get their staff back into the office. Data from Deloitte, meanwhile, reveals that around 56% of us currently work from home at least some of the time, making hybrid working now pretty much the norm across so many industries.
At OMP, we view our offices positively as important spaces where we can connect, collaborate, and get creative, not as a restriction on our flexibility.

Why physical space still matters to us
Even in a world where flexibility is important, physical space still plays a key role. OMP is growing and expanding into new markets, and as we scale up, our culture of bringing people together is a constant. The office is not about tracking presence or replacing flexibility. It is about enabling collaboration that is harder to replicate remotely.
And that’s exactly why going fully remote would make no sense for us. At OMP, hybrid working is a deliberate strategy where, for example, home might be best for complete focus on deeply complex challenges. On the other hand, we all know that coming together is crucial where speed, sharing context, and alignment matter. Think about architecture decisions, complex design discussions, customer meetings, and code reviews all benefit when the decision-makers are in the same room.
In Atlanta, a new office, designed for how we work
News
Built around how engineering and product teams actually operate day to day, OMP’s new office in Atlanta perfectly embodies this way of working. It supports focused execution in silent booths, for example, designed to give people space to become fully involved in work where complete concentration is required. It also helps support neurodiverse colleagues who benefit from lower-stimulus environments.
Meeting rooms are equipped with physical check-in screens so that availability is fully transparent, eliminating any friction caused when empty rooms appear to be reserved and the frustration of no spaces being available just when we need them.

We also created a dedicated space for working directly with customers and partners on complex challenges. And yes, OMP is still committed to that ping pong table! Not because our culture is defined by perks, but because we believe downtime and informal interaction are still an important part of building stronger teams.
Building more than space: building better ways of working
This is not just about a new office. It’s about constantly refining and redefining how we work together. From how our teams use shared spaces to how collaboration happens across locations, the focus is on creating an environment to support both connection and productivity.
We don’t see hybrid working as a compromise, nor as a restriction on our flexibility. Instead, we’re investing in making it work better for everybody: making it more deliberate, more structured, and more purposeful for the kind of engineering-driven work we do.
