Pet Insurance
Pets are members of the family too. When your pet gets sick, bills can add up faster than expected. Pet insurance prevents you from needing to weigh your pet’s health against your bank account. Most plans cover costs associated with accidents and illnesses—even medications.
Equity Grants
If your offer letter indicated an equity grant (restricted stock units (RSUs) or stock options), the grant must first be approved by at least two members of the Equity Grant Sub-committee. Grants are approved on the 20th of each month (or next business day, if the 20th falls on a weekend or holiday); thus, your equity will be granted & begin vesting on or around the 20th of the month following your start date. Please refer to your offer letter for the specific vesting terms of your grant.
