*For candidates outside of the US we use an Employer of Record model in many countries which means benefits are administered locally and governed by country-specific regulations. Because of this benefits will differ by region — in some cases international employees receive benefits US employees do not and vice versa. As we scale we will continue to evaluate where we can create more alignment but a 1:1 global benefits structure is not always legally or operationally possible.
