Our vision is for all identities, backgrounds, abilities, and expressions to be represented and supported in the workplace. We are creating the foundation for long term success and are working to cultivate a safe, collaborative, and inclusive space and company culture.
We value diverse voices and prioritize fairness, inclusivity, and employee wellbeing. To bring these values to life, we have programs and initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our workplace and with our community.
We put you and your personal lives first. We have a supportive culture and generous benefit offerings that demonstrate we are listening to what our employees need.
We value your career and personal growth
We offer you career development guidance and planning, including an annual learning and development stipend so you can enrich your personal and professional growth. We also have regular leadership development training. These trainings are geared toward creating strong and effective leaders and an internal mobility program designed to give our employees opportunities to grow and explore different career paths.
We have a vibrant, collaborative, and supportive culture
We celebrate and we like to have fun — whether you’re at HQ or you’re working remotely! We come together weekly to share company-wide updates. We have clubs and activities like Employee Resource Groups, volunteer opportunities, off-sites, and wellness focused classes. We host events that enable our entire organization to come together IRL at our headquarters. We provide rewards for work anniversaries and have employee awards ceremonies to celebrate accomplishments.
We prioritize flexibility and your well-being
We offer a hybrid working model with flexibility for remote work, unlimited vacation, generous holiday observances, and a one month paid sabbatical after your five year anniversary. We provide comprehensive insurance plans across medical, dental, and vision and access to support resources to help promote your well-being. We provide memberships for One Medical and subsidized plans to ClassPass to make your access to healthcare and wellness easier than ever. We truly honor Sacred Time in our workplace so you can set aside time for the things that matter most to you.
We support our parents at all points on their journey
We’re proud to offer 18 weeks of paid leave to all parents (adoption, fostering, and surrogacy included) and bereavement leave for pregnancy loss. We also have additional leave for parents whose newborns are in the NICU — their 18 weeks starts when their baby comes home. Additionally, we offer access to family building and fertility benefits through Kindbody, as well as a flexible and broad scale childcare and tutoring support program through our partners at Vivvi. Plus, we promote working flexibility based on parental schedules. Check out more about our support for paid family leave here.
