Our Benefits

We could tell you about the 30 vacation days, or that self-managed, flexible hours and remote work are part of the deal. But honestly? That’s just standard.
Here’s what makes working with us extra special:

• Work from (almost) anywhere – Take your job with you on a workation and get inspired by new places.
• Time for growth – A career framework to support your professional and personal growth with up to 6 extra days off per year for your development.
• Social Day – One paid day per year to give back: volunteer, support a cause, or attend an environmental event.
• Car Allowance -  Use a dedicated amount for your preferred car.
• Pick your perk – Choose the benefit that fits your life best: fitness membership, public transport pass, retirement plan, or a monthly bonus.

Hybrid work is a natural part of how we operate, but we also believe in the power of coming together. That’s why we regularly connect in the office - whenever it makes sense.
And that’s just the beginning. Ask us what else is waiting for you!
