Summer may feel like a time to kick back and relax (hello, rooftop weather!), but it’s no time to get complacent about your career. New York tech is on fire, which means there’s no shortage of opportunities to grow and learn in a role you’re passionate about.
Looking for a place where your talents can really shine? Well, throw on those shades ‘cause the future is bright at these five NYC tech companies.
What they do: Zipari’s customer experience and CRM products are designed to streamline and improve interactions between health insurance carriers and their customers.
Coolest perks: Zipari aims to make their team’s time in the office as enjoyable as possible — and they’ve got the perks to prove it. The company provides monthly unlimited MetroCards, generous vacation and leave policies and plenty of snacks. In fact, they keep a Slack channel open for the team to suggest new snacks they’d like to see around the office. Zipari knows company culture can be a pretty important perk too, which is why they work hard to foster a collaborative environment where everyone is encouraged to contribute their ideas and talents.
What’s one thing about your company that would surprise a lot of people?
“As a female engineer by training, I’m very excited that Zipari is actively looking to bridge the gender gap in engineering,” said VP of Customer Engagement Products Jyoti Mokal. “We noticed the imbalance in female engineering candidates applying to our jobs and discussed solutions with our executive team. We’ve taken a few steps to get to the root of the issue, including attending job fairs for female engineers and working with companies like Tech Ladies, which is dedicated to connecting us with more female engineers. A lot of people are surprised by the fact that we have a culture committee. We have had this committee since there were 15 of us. We have regular check-ins with people to understand how they are doing, what’s working, what’s not working and what improvements we can make as a company to make this a better place.”
