As Axelerant maintains a minimal asset base, we enable you to use your computing resources, called bring your own device (BYOD).

In using your device, we require you to follow the https://axelerant.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OA/pages/173080658. We will reimburse you for things like anti-virus and remote management to connect and protect our customer's data securely.

We further provide distributed development environments to collaborate and work on projects, thereby avoiding local infrastructure issues that do not scale to meet today's complex application needs.

Laptops, Phones, and Tablets

Before your joining date, Axelerant will assist you in obtaining a pre-configured MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, phone, and tablet relevant to your role. We have standardized our hardware to be successful with minimal fuss and as part of our long-term infrastructure management and security strategy.

When you ignore Axelerant's device selection, your unsupported choices may negatively impact you.

Purchasing

  • The onboarding team will contact you post-offer acceptance to determine your device needs.

    • Devices tend to have a 4-week lead time before you receive them.

    • When needed sooner, let us know.

  • Axelerant covers 75% of the pre-configured device cost.

  • The team member's remaining 25% balance becomes a 12-month salary draw at zero interest.

Repairs

Axelerant will cover 75% of repair costs. However, you should acquire a new device when repair costs are near or more than a new purchase.

  • Repair the device

  • File for expense reimbursement for the appropriate repair amount under the category BYOD & Repair.

  • When a repair hampers your work, source a rental device and apply for reimbursement.

  • When you need to order a temporary new device, kindly expect two weeks for delivery.

Terms & Conditions

BYOD falls under the Reimbursable Benefits as mentioned under Exceptional Situations. According to this, when BYOD is used within one year of leaving Axelerant for reasons other than death or termination without cause, the BYOD benefits are reimbursable, or devices are returned to Axelerant.
