Benefits

We cover a number of benefits here at XMTP, all with the goal of simplifying your life, removing stresses, and enabling you to be your most productive self. You can read more about the philosophy behind our benefits here on our blog.

Your standard-issue setup​

Every XMTP team member gets set up with a standard set of equipment, as well as a budget for their home office.

Medical, Dental, Vision​

We believe that the company is better when each and every one of us has everything we need to be a better individual. That starts with taking care of our mental health, physical health, families and having someone help us out whenever we need it.‌

We think it’s ridiculous that in the U.S. people have to pay for their health care, and particularly confusing to have to choose between different plans. We’d like to eliminate all stress around that so we’re covering 100% of coverage for excellent plans here in the U.S.

Insurance coverage (medical, dental, vision, and so forth) begins on the 1st of the month after your start date. If your start date is the 1st of the month, your coverage begins immediately. For example:

  • If your start date is May 1, your insurance coverage begins on May 1.

  • If your start date is May 2, your insurance coverage begins on June 1.

You might want to choose your start date with this information in mind.

If you'll be joining XMTP directly from another employer that provides insurance coverage and you've chosen a start date that creates a gap in your coverage and you're concerned about this, check with the human resources team at your current employer. They can share more information about your options for extending your coverage to close the gap.

Minimum two weeks per year of paid leave, meaning that if you haven't taken time off by the end of the year you'll need to carefully close that laptop lid and walk away from the computer for the last few weeks.

Parental leave​

Becoming a parent, especially for the first time, is as amazing and fun as it is overwhelming and stressful. We at XMTP want to do what we can to provide the support needed to help our working parents have the time they deserve to bond with their new child, as well as transition back to work.

Stipend for well-being​

While others reimburse for “health and fitness” we’re broadening that to be all about your general well-being. We be offer a stipend of $150/mo intended to support whatever you feel could make your life better. This goes for therapy, fitness memberships, coffee subscriptions, child-care, or anything else that you feel like contributes to your well-being.

This benefit can come in the form of pre-tax dollars when we're working with vendors that the company has a relationship with. It can also be treated as a simple reimbursement for whatever best suits your needs.

401K​

The company will enable contribution of pre-tax dollars to a 401(k) account. Currently we do not match contributions.

Everyone gets an assistant​

Executives always get an assistant to help with stuff, why doesn’t the team get one too? So we’ve partnered with Squared Away to offer assistants to all of our full-time team members. This goes for both professional AND personal tasks. So whether it’s booking a trip for work, or coordinating a doctor’s visit for a family member, we’ll be here to help.

The assistant will be remote as well, shared between 5-7 other team members. Please read How to work with an Assistant for tips on getting set up.

Financial advisor​

Startup jobs, and especially those in the crypto world, carry some unique qualities that make financial matters more difficult to understand and plan for. This can include how to deal with equity, how to take best advantage of benefits, and more. It can often be overwhelming to deal with much of this, so we’re partnering with Northstar to bring a financial advisor to each and every team member.
