It depends on the role. Many current postings are tagged remote, but some are tied to an office on a hybrid schedule. The Atlanta Sales Development Associate role expects three of five days in the office, Stockholm roles follow a hybrid model, and a working-student role in Aachen lists Wednesday and Thursday as in-office days. A few remote postings also name a time zone such as EST or CST, so check each listing.
According to the careers page, the process includes a discussion with the hiring manager that covers a culture contribution interview, so expect questions about what you would add to the team rather than only how you fit it.
Employees in the Americas get unlimited PTO, and every region gets paid time off and holidays. The second Friday of the month is a global company day off for the first 10 months of the year, and employees can take up to 3 days a year to volunteer.
Keyfactor runs Talent Tuesdays development sessions and has a defined career framework. Employees get company-paid technical training courses and a development stipend that covers tuition reimbursement and foreign language reimbursement.
In regions without government-paid healthcare, such as the U.S., Keyfactor pays for medical, dental and vision coverage for employees and their families. Paid parental leave is offered everywhere, structured by region, and U.S. employees also get adoption and fertility support. Most roles and regions include stock options and a retirement plan with a company match.
No. The careers page promises market-competitive compensation, but current postings do not list pay ranges, so raise compensation directly during the hiring process.
