What Makes Working at Tendril Awesome

Tendril’s high energy, sometimes silly, fast-paced work environment will keep you engaged, motivated, and well fed. Work-life balance is a core priority at Tendril. We work hard and we play hard and often the two overlap.  We love our dogs and bring them to work with us. We host family events and adult parties.

• Health, dental, and vision insurance with a generous employer contribution;
• An innovative and flexible paid time off policy;
• A generous stock options plan and a 401(k) plan;
• A kitchen stocked with breakfast and lunch food, coffee, sodas, snacks, and adult beverages;
