Strivers are provided 100% employer-paid life insurance, short-term disability and long-term disability coverage as of your start date. Additional supplemental insurance, including accident, life and critical illness, are available.

Our hybrid-remote approach ensures team members can work from home while collaborating in person when needed. Strive provides a full technology package and monthly technology reimbursement.

Vacation Time

Sick Time
Life happens, so we provide up to two weeks of paid time off annually for illness, medical care, caregiving responsibilities and other types of emergencies.

Well-Being Days
Annual Strive-wide well-being days off provide Strivers the opportunity to focus solely on their well-being.

Paid Holidays
Annual Strive-wide holidays allow all Strivers to disconnect together to reflect and celebrate.

Paid Leave
Our 12 weeks of paid birth giving leave and four weeks of paid bonding leave start day one. We provide a four-week paid sabbatical after five years to return recharged. In alignment to our mission, we offer a paid living donor leave if any Strivers choose to become a living donor.

Other Perks

The needs of every Striver are different, so we ensure our benefits support a wide range of community, family and professional well-being.
