• Trust and honesty. We upskill our leaders in things like emotional intelligence, empathy, and courageous conversations.

• Health insurance to help you take care of yourself (and discounts for your family).
• Access to a gym in the Wellington CBD to keep you fit and full of energy!
• We're serious about work-life balance. We don’t really like people working overtime, but if you do, we track time-in-lieu to ensure you’re paid for every hour you work.
• Fuel for productive brains. Think snack drawers, espresso machines, team lunches, and being treated to home baking possibly too often 🤤
• All the standard niceties you expect from a shiny modern office space - ergo desks, great tech set up for each team member, cool demos to show off and some greenery to keep it zen.
