- 1. his antibody discovery compa-
ny aims to cure cancer. Given
this lofty goal, it should be no
surprise it thinks equally big
when it comes to employee
benefits and culture. The startup’s employ-
ees own 20 to 30 percent of the company
through an employee stock option program
and can receive up to $26,800 in adoption
assistance, half from the company and half
from the Anderson Family Foundation. Em-
ployees receive unlimited paid time off and
are trusted to get their work done. The com-
pany also offers sabbaticals separate from
the unlimited time-off policy, increasing
initially from three days to four weeks every
four years.
Scientists can spend up to $10,000 as
they choose to outfit their labs with what
they need to do their jobs. And when it
comes to celebrating, the company presents
employees $100 on their birthday to spend
on themselves and a $100 gift card on their
half birthday, which they must give to some-
one else and say why at a company meeting.
Both kids and pets are welcome at the of-
fice and the company pays 90 percent of the
health care premium and deductible. n
