At Salesforce, our success wouldn’t be possible without our people performing at their best—and we know that can only happen when they’re feeling their best physically, mentally, and financially. For working parents, we understand that support will look different at different stages of life. That’s why we offer a wide range of benefits including up to 26 weeks of fully paid parental leave; up to $40,000 in reimbursement for fertility, surrogacy, or adoption expenses; doula coverage; personalized pregnancy and parental coaching through our partnership with Cleo; back-up child care programs; mental health resources through Lyra Health; and more.
Our benefits programs are constantly evolving to support employees and their families during the moments that matter. Working parents might feel like they have two jobs— one at the office and one at home—which can be incredibly stressful and prevent them from being fully present in either role. We continuously listen to internal feedback and adjust our benefits to give every employee the tools they need to thrive. Learn more at salesforcebenefits.com.
At Chick-fil-A, Inc., we believe you bring your best self to work when you can take care of your family and yourself. That’s why we offer an expansive benefits program that supports whole-family wellness and best-in-class professional development. Each employee receives training and dedicated funding for professional development and has access to our education investment program. We offer holistic wellness programs, wellness hours, and fully sponsored healthcare coverage without monthly premiums. Our on-site wellness center is open to employees and their spouses; employees have access to nutritionists, mental health counselors, and personal trainers.

At ABeam Consulting USA, we promote better work-life balance by offering remote work when not on a project, excellent benefits, employee assistance programs (EAPs), and a great PTO program. We also hold annual company-wide in-person meetings and provide opportunities to interact with coworkers on company-planned virtual games during the year.
At Pluralsight, we believe bringing your best self to work starts with feeling supported in every aspect of life. That’s why we offer benefits, resources, and a culture designed to help you thrive—both on and off the job. With unlimited PTO, Summer Fridays, and flexible schedules, we empower employees to own their time and create a work-life balance that fits their needs. Our comprehensive benefits support you and your family with top-tier medical, dental, and vision coverage, generous parental leave (up to 16 weeks plus flex return), and wellness programs. As a blended workforce, we embrace remote and hybrid work, equipping our teams with a distributed work playbook to foster seamless collaboration. Here, you’ll find the flexibility, support, and community to do your best work.
Take for example Bailey Dunlap, a solutions consultant who says, “There are so many things about how Pluralsight structures work that I love. This summer, having Summer Fridays was life-changing for me. And having unlimited PTO means I can take the time I need for family or vacation, and with our distributed work model, everyone respects different working hours. If I need to pick up my kids and then return to work, it’s never an issue.”
Cadence cares about our employees and their families. We provide benefits and programs supporting their physical, emotional, financial, and relational self. To foster a welcoming culture, we recognize all employees show up in different ways and have unique needs. We offer robust benefits to support employees at many stages of life—whether it’s planning for their health, future, or family needs. We also support flexibility and a mindful work-life balance to maintain a happy and healthy workforce.
We reward our Gurus’ curiosity and passion with best-in-class benefits and compensation, including company equity for all employees. All new hires receive Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), subject to time-based vesting tied to employment, and have the potential to earn more through retention programs and eligible promotions.
Our comprehensive paid parental leave ensures employees have the time and support they need. For birthing parents, we offer 100% paid medical leave for up to 16 weeks, plus 15 days of gradual return. For non-birthing parents, we offer 100% paid leave up to eight weeks consecutively or intermittently. All Gurus receive fertility health and family-forming benefits through Carrot Fertility including adoption, in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg or sperm freezing, and menopause support.
Career development and corporate giving programs, as well as our employee resource groups (ERGs) and communities, help employees build connections while making an impact in meaningful ways. CarGurus’ Drive Change program empowers employees through charitable giving, donation matching, sponsorship support, and volunteerism.
We supplement our flexible hybrid model with robust time-off policies including vacation, company holidays, and unlimited personal or sick time that can be used for medical appointments, kids’ school events, and deliveries. Gurus also get a one-month sabbatical after five years at CarGurus, and another after 10.
Thoughtful perks like daily lunch stipends, commuter benefits, a new car discount, an on-site gym, and more help our people create space for what matters most in their personal and professional lives.
