Culture and benefits at Apeel Sciences

Culture overview

Culture is about people, and at Apeel we put people first. We work to reinforce our people-first culture through every facet of the business, from global recruiting & hiring, to talent development, to the ways in which we reward and grow our employees. Our company values of ingenuity, leadership, teamwork, & humility underpin & reinforce our culture while also acting as a lens through which we make smart and authentic decisions for our employees and our business. To ensure that the culture we build continues to grow & evolve with our global business, we apply our values to decisions across recruiting and hiring, setting global objectives and key results, employee recognition, and performance management. The result of this value-centric philosophy is that Apeel is comprised of highly talented and driven team members who are excited by the opportunity to challenge the status quo, are obsessed with solving problems, and are truly committed to living and breathing our values in their everyday work. We believe that our culture of supporting and empowering our employees is absolutely fundamental to our company’s success and continued growth, and that this in turn enables us to continue investing in our employee base. We also recognize that every employee has a life beyond our organization. We do our best to bring awareness to current events in our community and the world, and we flex wherever we can to provide support – whether that be updating our benefits offerings, encouraging personal time off, providing support groups, suggesting learning opportunities, or partnering with outside organizations for assistance. If you look around our organization, what do you see? Employees embodying our values in their every-day decisions – not to serve themselves - but to help the Apeel team as a whole strategically & collectively realize its shared mission & vision.

Equity

We believe in growing employee ownership value at Apeel. Apart from your initial option grant, we also provide opportunities to receive additional option grants during your time here.

Open paid time off

We like to give the freedom to take the time off that they want or need since we don’t want anyone to wait on taking great opportunities to travel. We operate this benefit with a “freedom within a framework” idea, meaning that we trust our employees to consider their business needs and use this benefit as often or as little as they’d like.
