We also work hard to ensure Canary is a fun and exciting place to work. How do we do this?

First off, we've added Canary Days to the calendar as company holidays to ensure that the team has time to recharge. Whether that means having an extended weekend each month or making sure there are sufficient breaks incorporated into the team's busy workweek, we want everyone to get the rest they deserve!

Second, we have a list clubs and perks listed below that create space for us to hang out:

Self Improvement Club: We meet each month and share our personal goals for the month. We are able to expense $75 towards any purchases that helped us achieve these goals.

Fireside Chat: We meet each month to discuss a wide range of issues. This group was started focused on women's issues and has expanded in scope over the last several months.

$50 to stay at any hotel that uses Canary Check-in

Book a trip at one of the hotels that has Canary Checkin, stay there, leave a review on TripAdvisor/Google and get a $50 reimbursement!

$500 travel reimbursement: We offer you the chance to visit our offices in New York, San Francisco or Dallas by providing a travel stipend. Spend at least three days working with the team in either hub, and use the rest of your time exploring a new city!
