Benchling
What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Benchling?
What People Are Saying About Benchling
-
Recovery Time: A paid company‑wide winter shutdown and eligibility for sabbaticals at longer tenures encourage real disconnection. Unlimited PTO, paid sick time, holidays, and parental leave further support meaningful breaks.
-
Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: An intentionally structured hybrid model with at least three in‑office days offers predictability while preserving some remote latitude. This cadence helps many plan outside of work more easily than ad‑hoc office norms.
-
Mental Health Support: Dedicated mental‑health benefits, including access to therapy and coaching, are emphasized. A monthly wellness stipend (e.g., for gym memberships or massages) reinforces support for wellbeing.
