What People Are Saying About Gradient AI
-
Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Remote options across the U.S. and an optional Boston HQ rhythm (often Tue–Thu) reduce commuting and support choice over where work happens. Core Eastern Time collaboration windows provide structure without requiring full‑time onsite presence.
-
Flexible Scheduling: Core EST collaboration hours and outcome‑focused norms allow adjustment of daily schedules around personal obligations and time zones. Autonomy over when work gets done is consistently emphasized alongside remote/hybrid practices.
-
Time Off Access: Unlimited PTO, 11 paid holidays, and company‑wide Recharge Days make unplugging practical and normalized. Company materials describe Recharge Days as synchronized breaks intended to help people rest and prevent burnout.
