First off, we've added Canary Days to the calendar as company holidays to ensure that the team has time to recharge.

Second, we have a list clubs and perks listed below that create space for us to hang out:

Self Improvement Club: We meet each month and share our personal goals for the month. We are able to expense $75 towards any purchases that helped us achieve these goals.

Fireside Chat: We meet each month to discuss a wide range of issues. This group was started focused on women's issues and has expanded in scope over the last several months.

$50 to stay at any hotel that uses Canary Check-in

Book a trip at one of the hotels that has Canary Checkin, stay there, leave a review on TripAdvisor/Google and get a $50 reimbursement!

$500 travel reimbursement: We offer you the chance to visit our offices in New York, San Francisco or Dallas by providing a travel stipend. Spend at least three days working with the team in either hub, and use the rest of your time exploring a new city!
