Most Commented

  • Maternity & Paternity Leave(20 comments)

    You can take up to 6 months off for parental leave.

  • Health Insurance(11 comments)

    GitHub covers the premium, little to nothing out of pocket for the employee.

  • Work From Home(10 comments)

    Growing pains like any company, but GitHub offers plentiful WFH benefits.

Some of the best benefits I've ever seen. Very generous, and great. Just beware the golden handcuffs. The 401k match is half of the federal maximum (that's huge).

GitHub takes INSANELY good care of employees. Benefits include a very generous healthcare plan (and you can opt into a company-funded HSA with many of them), stipends for home office/education/health (which includes things like child and pet care), discounts on Microsoft products (which you can share with family), discounts on other products through Perkspot, an employer matched 401k, discounted Microsoft Stock (you also get stocks as a part of your compensation), unlimited PTO, generous parental leave
