More on this when we meet!Perks and BenefitsNon-standard stuff? 10 years options exercise windows — most startups employees never exercise their hard-earned equity options because the standard clause forces them to buy it within 3 months of departure. We care so much about equity that on top of giving offers way above market, we switched to a new legal documents software solely because the old one didn't support changing the default "3 months" to "10 years". Visa Sponsorship: Dream of living somewhere new? We'll help sponsor your application and help with the visa. "We Got Your Back" Budget: Life's little necessities shouldn't be a hassle. Need daycare, new glasses, or a taxi ride? Consider it covered. Growing You Budget: Your personal and professional growth is our priority.

We're skeptical of resumes and we don't trust interviews (we're happy to talk though!). Since nothing beats working together, we love inviting people for a hackweek (or hackweekend) - come hack on a problem with us and see if you like it!It's compensated, of course. And fast: we typically extend offers within 3 working days, starting from the end of the hackweek.Not sure whether this is for you? Read this candidate's feedback!See, I've been in the industry for quite a long time. And I had lots of interviews and interviewers throughout my career. Some were good, while some sucked big time; as usual. HOWEVER, and I'm not even exaggerating when I say this - interview experience with GitStart was not even ONE OF the best, but absolutely THE BEST I ever had in my 15 years career. Every person that I spoke to in the process was EXTREMELY charismatic, really eager to learn about myself and, what's more, it was absolutely obvious that they LOVED GitStart. I have NEVER EVER EVER seen anything even remotely like this. So how was the process? Amazing! I actually enjoyed it and was looking forward to more of it :DWould Be AwesomeIf you've ever kicked off your own project, you're our kind of people!
