We don’t do benefits for the sake of it, or as some kind of bonus. Our benefits are practical opportunities where it makes sense for cord to foot the bill.
In doing so, we aim to enable anyone to work at cord to do their best work, no matter their background or circumstance.
We appreciate that in different countries there are different rules and regulations on employee benefits, wherever possible we have tried to ensure there is total parity regardless of where you are based.
Currently cordians are based across London, New York and Full Remote. We have used flags to mark which benefits apply to which geographies.
