Unique Perks in the Tech Industry

Companies are always trying to find new ways to align their benefits packages with the needs and interests of their employees. 

We decided it would be interesting to take a look at some of the unique perks that come with working for specific companies. Take a look below to see what these companies are offering, and how some are adapting to better suit their employees in this constantly evolving era of work.


Pluralsight offers team members Recharge Weeks, four weeks of PTO in addition to our unlimited PTO policy. Recharge Weeks are designed to enhance our Paid Time Off (PTO) benefit by giving team members reliable and consistent time off every year, so they can unplug, spend time with loved ones, and recharge. Two of our four weeks off are company-wide breaks. These breaks encourage all team members to take time off together and create greater efficiencies for teams. The best part? We don't come back to full inboxes.

We want team members to be their best selves, so we also offer a monthly wellness reimbursement. We understand wellness means something different to everyone, so this reimbursement can be used toward a range of wellness opportunities including, gym memberships, massages, ski passes and more.

And for new parents, Rue Gilt Groupe offers a robust primary and secondary paid leave program, including a two-week part-time (at full salary!) return to work benefit to help the primary caregiver with the transition.

We love it because we get to recognize our colleagues for their incredible work while also giving back to our community!

Concerts for Commuters: to thank the team who deals with Boston traffic, we started a monthly raffle for concert/sporting event tickets. The raffle is held on a random day each month, and anyone who is in office that day can participate. The winner gets $500 to spend toward a concert or sporting event of their choice. We believe strongly in the power of in-person collaboration and learning, but we recognize it's not always easy to make the trip in.
