Why choose cake? TEAM SOCIALS & EVENTS We know how to have fun. Regular team days like canoeing, escape rooms, and more are a staple. Our team's unique personalities and passions make us more than colleagues—together, we're a group who genuinely enjoy each other's company.
FOOD & DRINKS ON THE HOUSE Fuel for your day is essential, so we've got it covered. Enjoy a stocked breakfast bar, fresh fruit, snacks, and a range of sugar‐free drinks, including wonky fruit sparkling water. You'll also have access to an automated coffee machine.
MEDICAL PLAN & LIFE ASSURANCE Your health and peace of mind matter. That's why we provide access to Medicash, covering everyday health costs and specialist care. On top of that, our life assurance policy offers extra security for you and your loved ones.
HEALTH & WELLBEING We put your wellbeing first. That's why we offer an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and full access to Medicash health insurance. Whether you're facing personal or professional challenges, we've got you covered with expert support.
HYBRID & FLEXIBLE Life doesn't fit into a strict 9‐to‐5. That's why we offer flexible working hours to suit your schedule. But we also believe in the power of in‐person connection, so we encourage hybrid working to get the best of remote and office setups.
