Working at Warby Parker
Warby Parker is a transformative lifestyle brand with a lofty objective: to offer designer eyewear at a revolutionary price while leading the way for socially conscious businesses. Founded in 2010 and named after two characters in an early Jack Kerouac journal, Warby Parker believes in creative thinking, smart design, and doing good in the world. For every pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need.
Warby @ SxSW
At SxSW, Warby organized a three-day event best described as a Vaudeville circus with a hipster twist, set on a old farm and featuring hired performers of the quirky, vintage variety wandering amidst the crowd. Citizen’s Band performed each night, and the party’s overarching theme was one of anti-apathy—complete with a tent for Rock the Vote.
Office With a Showroom
One of Warby's New York showrooms is located right inside its office. About a third of the light-filled open office space is a Warby Parker store, where customers can come, browse, and buy eyeglasses. Employees' desks fill the other two-thirds of the space—just far enough away to actually get work done, but close enough to be reminded every day exactly what Warby does, and how much their customers love them.
Costumes & Halloween
When's the last time you wore a costume? If that doesn't seem like your typical interview question—well, Warby Parker's not your typical company. What's more, this year to celebrate Halloween, Warby turned the conference room into a Dexter-style kill room with a dead body. CEO Neil was dressed as Little Orphan Annie, and gave visiting graduate students an intro-to-Warby Parker presentation while wearing a wig and a dress, and standing in the middle of a room full of plastic wrap and fake blood.
