OUR BENEFITS

Because we are dedicated to advancing the state-of-the-art, we are also dedicated to a work environment that allows you to stretch and grow and that gives you the support necessary to thrive. Here’s how:

Financial Security

We offer competitive rates and bonus opportunities. But, we also offer a benefits package that supports your health & wellness and helps you build wealth and prepare for retirement:
100% Employer Paid Medical (HMO or PPO), Dental and Vision and 100% Paid Life and Disability Insurance.
Health Savings Account with a generous company contribution for those who choose the HMO.
Flexible Spending Account for eligible out-of-pocket healthcare and dependent day care expenses.
401K Retirement Plan with up to 4% in company matching contributions.
Free financial advising through our partner, Pinnacle.

Work-Life Balance

Work-life balance is more than a catchphrase to us. We maintain a reasonable workweek and offer generous time away from work:
20 vacation days, 40 hours of sick time, and 7 paid holidays a year—and we encourage you to use them!
We welcome each new addition to the family with parental or child-bonding leave. Our flexible work culture encourages and supports parents taking time to care for their families.

We Love Learning

We provide opportunities for you to continue learning. We offer an education budget for employees to use at conferences, workshops or classes. And each quarter, we hold an internal conference dedicated to taking everyone to the next level.

Beyond the Paycheck

The work of creating an inclusive and welcoming environment is never done. But, Cantina will not retreat from creating equity and impact. We have four key initiatives that enrich the workplace and amplify our impact.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is core to our strategy. Employees actively shape our thinking, which finds expression in how we hire, support, manage, and reward our people.

When we’re not working on paid engagements, we focus our efforts on challenges that push us to learn new skills, explore new methodologies, and consider novel approaches. “Cantina Time” is where we take a hunch and turn it into a compelling solution.

Many of our paid engagements are transformative to our clients. We also actively seek out worthy problems on a pro bono basis through our “Innovate with Impact” community and social responsibility program.

And lastly, we meet weekly at “The Hive Mind.” This self-organized meet-up brings in external speakers, allows us to teach one another new skills, have fun, and break down silos within the company.
