4 COOL STARTUPS HIRING NOW
MAY 25, 2018
There is an idea that working for big corporations equate to bigger payoffs, better benefits, and large, nicer offices. While it may be true that big companies most likely have higher budgets, it isn’t the size that determines the perks you get, but actually how much value the company gives to their employees.
Startups tend to value their employees a lot because there are less of them. They also tend to understand the need for a balanced workplace, one that isn’t just grey walls and cubicles - offering different kinds of perks that are unique to their small venture.
If you’re considering a new direction in your career, here are four startups that you can check out that are not only growing and leading in their respective industries but are overall a cool place to work in.

Never A Dull Moment
Imagine walking into an office filled with accents of warm reclaimed wood hanging on the walls and beautiful artworks dotting the vicinity. You’re greeted by the office’s favorite barista and place a request for a warm cup of cappuccino topped with amazing latte art causing a smile to the start your day.You head over to your handmade table, shared with your other team members, and get to work. Hours fly by and it’s lunchtime. It’s Friday, so that means lunch is free. After a satisfying meal, you continue work. A few more hours pass and it’s now 5 PM. Your friends challenge you to a game of Tekken so you all head on over to the games area, grab a spot on the beanbags, or on the surrounding chairs, or front and center on the gaming chairs and get ready for battle. That’s a regular day.
On special days, everyone will be called out for some random fun and games loaded with prizes. Other days you’ll see the creative team roaming and capturing videos of everyone working in the office with a drone maneuvering effortlessly overhead.
