PostHog

210 employees
Fully Remote

PostHog is an open-source platform that combines product analytics, session recording, feature flags, A/B testing, heatmaps, and web analytics in one place, replacing the half-dozen separate tools a product team would otherwise buy and wire together. It can be hosted in either the US or the EU, and both versions are SOC 2 certified, GDPR-ready, and HIPAA compliant.

PostHog's Remote Policy

PostHog's culture handbook states: "Our team is 100% remote, and distributed across more than 20 countries." The same page describes an all-remote company "that allows people to work from almost anywhere in the world," one that judges "performance based on real outcomes, not hours spent in an office," uses "asynchronous communication as a starting point," and holds no internal meetings at all on Tuesdays and Thursdays. PostHog's communication handbook adds: "You are not expected to be available all the time. There is no expectation to respond to messages outside of your planned working hours."

Health & Wellness

Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

US team members can set aside up to $3,400 a year pre-tax in a flexible spending account for healthcare costs.

Health Savings Account (HSA)

PostHog offers US team members a high-deductible health plan paired with a health savings account.

Financial

5

401(k) / Retirement Plan

US team members get a 401(k) managed by Vestwell and UK team members a Royal London pension. In countries where PostHog employs through Deel's EOR service, it makes pension contributions in line with local law.

401(k) Match

PostHog matches up to 4% of salary into a US 401(k), and contributes 4% to the UK pension alongside a 5% employee contribution.

Stock Options

Stock options vest over four years with monthly vesting and a one-year cliff, and team members get 10 years from the grant date to exercise them after leaving - where most companies allow 90 days. Double-trigger acceleration applies if you are let go in connection with an acquisition, and UK grants are made under an EMI scheme.

Pay Transparency

PostHog publishes a full salary calculator, so candidates can see their approximate starting salary before they apply, along with the levels, steps, and formula behind it. Pay is benchmarked against San Francisco market rates using Pave and reviewed for everyone two to three times a year without anyone having to ask.

Commuter Benefits

UK team members can buy a bike through PostHog's Cyclescheme.

Time Off

5

Unlimited PTO

PostHog offers unlimited, permissionless paid time off. Requests are booked through Time Off by Deel in Slack and approved automatically, with no manager sign-off in the loop.

Minimum PTO Requirement

Every team member is required to take at least 25 days off a year, including national holidays. PostHog treats the 25 days as a floor rather than a target.

Flexible Hours

PostHog does not count hours or days worked and uses asynchronous communication as its starting point, with no expectation to reply outside your planned working hours. Internal meetings are off the calendar company-wide on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Sick Days

Sick leave sits outside PostHog's time-off allowance, so illness never eats into the 25-day minimum. Illness running past five working days is handled case by case with the people team.

Bereavement Leave

PostHog's bereavement policy covers pregnancy and child loss for both parents with no questions asked, and asks affected team members to take at least two weeks of paid leave.

Remote & Equipment

4

Home Office Stipend

PostHog covers whatever you need for an ergonomic home office setup, and every team member gets a company card to buy it directly rather than filing expense claims.

Coworking Allowance

Team members get $300 a month toward a co-working space or coffee shops, charged straight to their company card. PostHog also runs two Hedge Houses in the UK, a small one in Cambridge and a larger one in London, plus Hogpatch in San Francisco, where team members can work, and stay for free at the Cambridge Hedge House.

Company Offsites / Retreats

PostHog funds one all-company offsite a year at up to $3,000 per person and one small-team offsite a year at up to $2,000 per person, with a hackathon as the centrepiece. Recent all-hands destinations run Mykonos in 2024, Tulum in 2025, and Barbados in 2026.

Work From Anywhere

PostHog is 100% remote and distributed across more than 20 countries, and lets team members work from almost anywhere in the world. The company hires and pays locally, including through Deel's EOR service in countries where it employs that way, instead of restricting hiring to one region.

Family & Care

2

Parental Leave

Parental leave is tenure-tiered and rises to up to 24 weeks of maternity leave or 6 weeks of paternity leave after 12 months at PostHog. Any team member can take it regardless of gender, and whether they became a parent through childbirth or adoption.

Childcare Support

UK team members can pay nursery fees out of pre-tax salary through PostHog's workplace nursery scheme, saving up to 45% on the cost.

Professional Growth

2

Learning & Development Budget

PostHog gives every team member $1,000 a calendar year to spend on training, and the handbook is explicit that it is not a hard limit. Training is self-serve, with no approval process to work through.

Book Stipend

Books are free at PostHog - team members can spend about $50 a month on books with no approval, and the company covers an Audible subscription.

Culture & Perks

3

Team Events & Social Budget

PostHog gives team members a quarterly budget to meet up in person with colleagues they don't work with day to day.

Entrepreneurship Encouraged

PostHog offers to be the first investor in a team member's new company if they spend two years there and then leave to start one.

Employee Product Discount

Team members get free PostHog merch, including birthday, work-anniversary and new-hire kits, plus access to the merch store.

Why PostHog

PostHog publishes its company handbook the same way it publishes its code: in the open. The handbook covers how they hire, how they pay people, how they let people go, what the strategy is, and who funded them. Compensation is the sharpest example. Anyone can run PostHog's public salary calculator and see an approximate starting salary before applying, along with the method behind it: benchmarks from Pave, anchored to the San Francisco market rate, with engineering paid at the 90th percentile and other roles at the 50th percentile plus 20%. Location factors are adapted from GitLab's and are based on cost of market rather than cost of living, with a floor of 0.8 in the US and 0.6 everywhere else. Pay is reviewed proactively two to three times a year and everyone on the team is reviewed every time, so nobody has to ask. The one documented exception is executive pay, which uses a paid benchmark database PostHog is not permitted to republish.

The internal structure is deliberately thin. "TL;DR: We don't hire middle management," says the careers page. Work is split into small teams of strictly two to six people, each owning an area of the product and running as close to its own startup as possible, holding its own sprint and retrospective every week and deciding for itself which features ship, with no external QA gate. Most of that happens in the open too: discussion in GitHub issues and pull requests is preferred over everything else, with Slack kept for day-to-day conversation.
