Axelerant is committed to offering meaningful benefits that cater to you and your career. We strive to accommodate your requests to the best of our ability.

Axelerant's fiscal year is from April 1 until March 31, and benefits are typically prorated upon joining.

Work from Anywhere

Work from anywhere and keep your career rolling wherever you go.

Competitive Local Salaries

We review localized industry salaries annually to ensure we're paying competitively for your skills and experience in every role – why we localize.

Time Off

Time off from work is beneficial for a healthy life balance. Not taking time off often leads to burning yourself out and becoming a single point of failure. Please demonstrate humility in your role, foster collaboration, train others, and document and explain your work.

Lead by example, returning to Axelerant with renewed energy to do your best work! And when you think someone else should take a break, encourage them to do so. 

For audit and compliance purposes, all team members must use our leave management system by Timetastic as the single source of truth to accurately track and communicate time off.

Computing Device 

At Axelerant, we provide you with a device ideally suited to your role, a little something to make your journey with us even smoother. This device, handpicked for you, becomes yours to keep after you've been with us for three years. If your path leads you elsewhere before celebrating this third anniversary with us, we'll gently retrieve the device, hoping it has served you well.

As you continue growing with us beyond these three years, we're here to listen should you need a new device. Reach out via People Service Desk, and with your career managers, we'll thoughtfully decide whether a new device is the best way forward.
