What People Are Saying About Gradient AI

  • Healthcare Strength: Medical, dental, and vision coverage start on day one alongside life/AD&D, short- and long-term disability, HSA/FSA options, and an EAP, with multiple plan choices via TriNet. This breadth combines big-company staples with a startup setting.
  • Leave & Time Off Breadth: Unlimited PTO, 11 paid holidays, paid sick days, and recurring company-wide Recharge Days provide ample time-off channels. These synchronized closures aim to reduce pressure to be the only one out and help teams unplug together.
  • Equity Value & Accessibility: Company equity is granted to all new hires with opportunities for additional grants, fostering broad ownership. This ownership element is positioned as a core part of total compensation alongside bonuses.
