Employee experience is of utmost importance to us, and our benefits show it. We give employees their birthdays off as a way of bringing meaning and delight back into a day that for most people becomes an ordinary day once you’re a working adult. We have also introduced a financial literacy course to teach employees how to better budget, manage, and optimize their money. And we allocate $2,000 a year to each employee for vacation travel and host a virtual “breakfast” each Friday to foster connection between colleagues and between leadership and employees.

Our top core value is to put people first. We cover 100 percent of employee health insurance, offer a 401(k) with matching contributions and a wellness stipend, match employee charitable donations, and extend equity offerings to all employees, not just senior management. Radical transparency and empathy are two concepts at the forefront of our company culture. Rather than antiquated performance reviews, we check progress and roadblocks weekly. We aim to foster a transparent and understanding work environment through open dialogue to fully understand the realities our employees face.

We're focused on cultivating a purposeful and people-centered culture. One way we show appreciation for our employees is through our appreciation initiative: Employees are encouraged to drop “appreciation notes” to their teammates through an online form; each month anyone who has submitted an appreciation note is entered to win a gift card for lunch, and every quarter we read the notes aloud in a team meeting. We also show appreciation through personalized gifts and other incentive programs, and offer flexible work arrangements.

Our family-like culture is driven by our mission to "Live Big. Win Together." We offer unlimited PTO and work-from-home days, and allow employees to earn up to 50 percent of their salary in profit share to their 401(k) every year. When we hit quarterly goals, we celebrate with activities like renting a luxury catamaran for the afternoon. We take our team on yearly all-inclusive vacations and allocate funds for things like care packages when someone gets sick. We also recently finished a $1 million office renovation that added a living room-style lounge and kitchen where we keep cold beer on tap.

Our employees refer to themselves as “nerds at heart.” They are dedicated to helping one another learn and grow and bring the best ideas to light. New employees receive a world-class onboarding experience with executive presentations and live Q&A sessions with company founders and department leaders. We offer continuous DEI learning opportunities including allyship training and managing bias training. Our employees can freely express themselves through a number of affinity groups as well. Initiatives like our Teams Program support both virtual and in-person team social events, from happy hours to meditation workshops.
