Sendbird
What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Sendbird?
Frequently Asked Questions
Sendbird is a work hard culture, and a take-care-of-yourself culture. The two aren't at odds. We move fast and hold a high bar, but we know the best work comes from people who feel their best. We genuinely encourage our team to take time off, use their benefits, and come back recharged.
The Be Your Best Self stipend exists for a reason. Whether that's a gym membership, therapy, or just a good book, we want people investing in themselves outside of work. The same goes for PTO, rest days, and yes, your birthday off. These aren't just perks on paper.
Collaboration is at the heart of how we work, and that extends to how we support each other. People here are willing to roll up their sleeves and help. Not because it's required, but because that's the kind of team we've built. You won't feel like you're navigating things alone.
