About Justworks
What is Justworks?
Justworks is a cloud-based HR, payroll and benefits platform that helps small and growing businesses run with less busywork. As the company puts it, it "takes the busyness out of growing a business" by combining "a simple platform and exceptional 24/7 customer service to help entrepreneurs and businesses grow with confidence by giving them access to corporate-level benefits, automated payroll, HR tools, and compliance support— all in one place." Founded in 2012 and headquartered in New York City, Justworks is on a mission to build "a world in which starting, running, and joining a growing business is an accessible option for all" — levelling the playing field so small teams can offer big-company benefits and compete for top talent.
Where will I work?
Justworks runs a hybrid model. Its team "engage[s] in a combination of remote and on-site work," with a typical on-site cadence of around two days a week. The company is anchored in its New York City headquarters and also operates offices in Tampa, Phoenix, Austin, Toronto, Mexico City and London, alongside select fully-remote and in-territory roles. Most positions — especially across Engineering, Product, Sales and Customer Success — are based out of or hybrid to one of these hubs, with compensation benchmarked to the office location.
What is the Justworks team like?
Justworkers describe "a welcoming and casual environment" where people "work hard and care about our most prized asset - our people." The culture runs on five core values known as COGIS: Camaraderie ("working together towards a higher purpose"), Openness ("willing to share information, understand other perspectives, and consider new possibilities"), Grit ("the courage to commit and persevere"), Integrity ("doing the right thing"), and Simplicity ("making things easy for everyone to understand and do"). The team is data-driven, entrepreneurial, and "never stop[s] iterating." Justworks has been recognized by Built In as one of the best places to work in New York City.
Work-Life Balance
Justworks backs balance with concrete policies rather than slogans. Employees get "Flexible PTO and sick days" plus "'Oxygen Days' - 2 dedicated mental health days a year," and — uniquely — a "Fully paid sabbatical after 5 years tenure." New parents receive "16-week Paid Parental Leave." Wellbeing support is deep: a "Headspace Premium membership for meditation & mindfulness," "Online mental health support through Talkspace," a Wellhub membership, and free One Medical and Teladoc memberships for on-demand and 24/7 virtual care. Company retreats round out a culture built to "rest and recharge."
Perks and Benefits
Justworks' Total Rewards package is built "to support the health and comfort of our employees and their families." Health coverage spans "Medical, Dental, and Vision plan options" plus "Employer-covered Disability, Life, and AD&D insurance," FSA/HSA, and "Access to Kindbody, a gynecology, fertility, and family planning benefit." Every hire becomes an owner: "All Justworkers receive an equity grant when hired," alongside a "401(k) retirement plan" and pay transparency by level. For growth, the company offers "LinkedIn Learning," "BetterUp Coaching," and self-advocacy workshops, plus city perks like a "Free bike share membership through Citi Bike."
