What People Are Saying About Benchling

  • Time Off Access: Policies include unlimited PTO, paid sick leave and holidays, and a company‑wide winter shutdown intended to let people truly disconnect. Paid sabbaticals at longer tenures further signal support for real time away.
  • Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: A structured hybrid model with flexible scheduling for many roles gives predictability while preserving some remote days. This setup helps daily routines remain manageable for a range of functions.
  • Wellbeing Programs: Dedicated mental‑health benefits and a monthly wellness stipend provide tangible support during busy R&D cycles. These programs complement time‑off policies to bolster wellbeing.
