Benefits & Perks

Philosophy

Benefits should reduce friction in your life, not add complexity. We offer a focused set of meaningful benefits rather than a long list of things nobody uses.

Health & Wellness

Mental health	Therapy and counseling covered; additional access via Modern Health or equivalent

Time Off

Flexible PTO

We don’t track vacation days. Take the time you need. The only rules:

1. Minimum 15 days off per year - yes, a minimum. We mean it.
2. Tell your team - at least 1 week notice for a week+ off, 2 days notice for shorter breaks
3. Set up handoffs - make sure nothing blocks on you while you’re gone
4. Actually disconnect - don’t check Slack on vacation

Company-Wide Breaks

• Winter break - office closed last week of December
• Summer Friday - half-days every Friday in July and August

Parental Leave

• Primary caregiver - 16 weeks fully paid
• Secondary caregiver - 8 weeks fully paid

Sick Leave

Take the time you need. No doctor’s notes, no cap. If you’re sick, rest.

What We Don’t Offer

We’re honest about what’s not included:

• No free lunch (we’re remote-first - cook something good)
• No ping pong tables (play at the offsite)
• No unlimited snack walls (your kitchen is better)
• No “unlimited PTO” without a minimum (that just means “no PTO”)

We’d rather put money into things that materially improve your life than performative perks.
