Culture and benefits at Pomelo

Culture overview

Our mission is the "what" behind Pomelo, our culture is the "how". Our VP of Engineering, Aseem Kishore, put it nicely: The “how” that we value is holding ourselves to a high quality bar; being open to mistakes but committed to learning from them; hiring great people who aren’t just talented but also collaborative and empathetic; working as a team rather than as individuals; giving feedback directly and kindly, and receiving it graciously. Perhaps most notable to me is our passionate customer focus, where we broadcast real customer comments almost every day, and our full-company transparency, where we proactively and openly share almost everything.

Perks and benefits

Platinum-level health insurance

Platinum-level health insurance (medical, dental, vision) — with 99% covered by the company for you and 50% for dependents.

Generous options grant

Because we're early stage, we're able to offer a sizable options grant as part of your compensation. Our founding team have all seen successful exits in their previous ventures, so the odds of a great liquidity event for us are high.

Travel stipend

On top of our PTO policy, we offer a travel stipend of $1500/year to help cover the costs of any trips you'd like to make!

Generous pto

15 days PTO plus national holidays in year one, and 20 days PTO plus national holidays in year two.

Health & wellness perk

$300/year towards health & wellness

Commuter benefits

Commuter benefits if applicable: contribute up to $600 pre-tax dollars to transportation costs ($300 max for parking, $300 max for transit)

Professional development

Opportunity for major impact, learning, and growth.

Semi-annual company retreat

We do semi-annual company meetups, covered by the company. This gives our remote workforce the opportunity to spend time and build in-person relationships with their colleagues (Last was Vegas Aug 2023!)

Life insurance

Meaningful mission

A meaningful mission and an opportunity for direct social impact. We’re putting real money back in the hands of the people who need it most and helping immigrants and their families realize the American dream.

An amazing team and culture

You’ll have peers from both top tech companies (e.g. Google, Twitter, Microsoft) and other successful startups (e.g. Affirm, Remitly, MemSQL). We empower each other to do great work and continue growing.
