Show me the benefits!

• Your own Pleo card (no more out-of-pocket spending)
• Ability to work remotely (anywhere between east coast of the Americas to European timezones)...
• Regular trips to somewhere for team camps. For example Data Camp in July 2022.
• Investment in learning & developing (just check with your team for what's reasonable, we don't have set budgets)
• At Pleo, we want everyone to feel valued, and treated like an individual, at work. We want to be as flexible as possible to make sure that you are fully setup to be your best self - and a big part of that is what benefits we offer you. So, we’ve flipped it. Instead of us deciding what benefits work for you, we’re putting the power in your hands to choose benefits for your specific year, situation, or lifestyle.

And here are some other nice gestures that we do

• Catered lunch in our HQ and London offices when you're here
• 25 days holidays (annual)
• Loads of weird and wonderful niche communities to join in the company (we're talking guerrilla gardening, liquids tasting, the Pleo band, learning to code initiatives, beer brewing, skiing, that type of thing)
• Wild enthusiasm and encouragement from us if you want to host MeetUps, events, etc - we'll help (venue, food etc)

Working at Pleo means you're working on something very exciting: the future of work. Through fintech we've seen a way to impact how people work; we think company spending should be delegated to all employees and teams, that it should be as automated as possible, and that it should drive a culture of responsible spending. This world deserves the best out of trust, autonomy, automation, and empowerment.

Being HQ'd out of Copenhagen means we're inspired by sensible things like a good work-life balance. If you don't work in the office with us we'll help you get up the best remote set up possible.

Sometimes, we write about things we care about
