Northslope Compensation & Benefits
Frequently Asked Questions
The philosophy behind Northslope's compensation is straightforward: employees shouldn't have to worry about money. The goal is NOT to optimize for margin at the employee's expense. It's to make sure people feel taken care of so they can focus on doing great work. That translates into competitive salaries and strong benefits.
Northslope Technologies covers 100% of employee health-insurance premiums, offers PPO/HMO plans and HSA/FSA options. We provide a 401(k) match up to 3%, a flexible take-what-you-need time off policy and paid holidays, which includes a 2 week winter break. We offer 16 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents. We also host biannual company offsites.
Employees highlight comprehensive healthcare as a standout benefit. The general ethos is that the company invests in people's wellbeing so that compensation and benefits never become a distraction from doing your best.
