What’s the Culture like at First Orion?

Small culture feel, big company benefits

At First Orion, our people define us. We hire for smarts, grit, and potential — ability over pedigree, every time. While our team rallies around one vision for the future of mobile, we come from all walks of life and speak dozens of languages. Literally. That diversity isn’t just in our code; it reflects the global audience we protect every day.

Open by Design
We keep hierarchy flat and ideas loud. In weekly all-hands meetings, anyone can ask CEO Scott Hambuchen or our exec team about company updates, strategy, or what’s keeping them up at night. No question is off-limits. Our offices are built the same way: open spaces, shared hubs, and plenty of whiteboards to spark cross-team conversations about work and play.

Traditions That Stick
At Beer:30, we pause — even if just for 30 minutes — to grab a drink and food, challenge someone to ping pong, and swap stories about what’s happening in the world. It’s simple, human, and it works.

Build Your Circle
Passions don’t clock out at 5. Our team members run company-wide interest groups for everything from cooking and books to sports leagues and hiking trips. We also host monthly Women in Tech meetups, where our experts lead candid talks on navigating and shaping the industry.

Give Back, Together
Through The Kindness Crew, we roll up our sleeves for our community. You’ll find us volunteering at Ronald McDonald House at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, walking dogs at local shelters, refurbishing bikes with Recycle Bikes for Kids, supporting the Little Rock Zoo, and packing meals at the Arkansas Food Bank.

The Mission That Drives Us
We’re on a mission to bring transparency to phone calls through world-class data and mobile solutions. That means solving one of the mobile industry’s toughest problems: privacy. To do it, we’re building a company full of incredible people who challenge, support, and inspire each other daily.
