We encourage Hubbers to build amazing things with a high level of autonomy and self-direction. Work/life balance is important to us, which is why we offer flexible work schedules and unlimited PTO. We believe that if a job allows for it, people should work wherever they’re happiest.
Our officeOur office in SOMA is designed for everyone to work better and happier, and includes unique spaces like a DJ booth and coder caves to cater to any work style. Some of our local GitHub staples include karaoke nights, our Giants stadium box, an annual charitable dodgeball tournament, and various athletic groups.
You + Your FamilyAll full time employees enjoy 100% coverage of health insurance premiums across our Medical, Dental and Vision plan offerings, including coverage for dependents. We also offer four months of paid family leave to all new parents with the flexibility of using it all at once, or throughout the baby’s first year.
Stay fitWe cover gym memberships and offer fitness classes in our onsite gym, the OctoDojo. In the Zen room, Hubbers can recharge through meditation or complimentary massage.

“GitHub’s primary insurance provider for employees is United Healthcare. The coverage of United Healthcare is both widely accepted and very generous.”
GitHub has amazing perks! They have unlimited time off, great insurance, etc.
Since acquisition, benefits packages are not competitive
Flexible packages that work for your situation
Home office stipend, learning and development stipend, wellness stipend, communication (internet) stipend. Great benefits, including 401K with company matching, ESPP, medical.
Great benefits and unlimited PTO is actually unlimited and not a gimmick to avoid cashing you out when you leave
Great Benefits. Insurance coverage, home office stipend, wellness programs, etc,
The L&D stipend was top of the market with each employee receiving more than $1K in L&D credit to work with each calendar year. GitHub offered top notch benefits.
Very generous benefits, excellent parental leave options (by US standards). This was before the Microsoft acquisition, unsure of current offerings.
Good 401K and Employee stock purchase program
Decent benefits package, but separate from and weaker than parent company (Microsoft) in some areas.
