Working at Wistia

We try to ensure Wistia is an inclusive and diverse place where everyone feels happy, fulfilled, respected, comfortable, and welcome. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We care a lot, so our benefits are actually benefits, not just the fun stuff like swag and snacks in the office (though we also have lots of those too!).

We know the biggest investment we can make is in our employees, so we provide:

• A competitive compensation package that includes internal equity stock options
• 401k with 3% company contribution, regardless of whether you contribute (Roth 401k available)
• Fully paid healthcare, dental, and vision insurance (family plans included)
• Pre-Tax FSA and Dependent Care Account
• Flexible working hours – work at the times when you operate best, or set aside time for child and/or elderly care responsibilities during traditional “office hours”
• 16 weeks paid parental leave for all new and expecting parents
• Unlimited PTO (pretty common for people to take 4+ weeks off throughout the year)
• Remote-first culture (work from anywhere in the U.S.)

• Pet insurance discount
