Ballotpedia describes its staff as nationally distributed, working from home offices across the United States. All of its current openings are listed as remote roles in the United States.
Staff receive an $8,000 annual benefit stipend, paid in equal amounts with each paycheck. Any unused portion is taxed and added to salary. Staff and their dependents get medical (an HDHP or PPO plan), dental, vision, supplementary, and life/AD&D insurance after a brief waiting period. The 401(k) offers Roth and Traditional options from the first paycheck, and an HSA, a healthcare FSA, and a dependent care FSA are also available. New staff get a second monitor once they finish their review period.
Vacation is unlimited and paid. Under the BP Flex policy, staff are encouraged to take at least two weeks a year, including one vacation of five consecutive workdays. The company also observes a long list of paid holidays, including Juneteenth, Black Friday, and the stretch from Christmas Eve through New Year's Day, and it closes company-wide on BP Unplugged Days. Staff get 10 days (up to 80 hours) of paid personal and sick leave a year from day one. Benefits-eligible employees get up to 4 weeks of paid parental leave.
Ballotpedia calls its compensation philosophy transparent. It says pay is adaptable and closely tied to performance and proven expertise, so that it stays consistent and fair across a nationally distributed staff. An annual staff assessment and a system of performance levels support this. Some job postings list a starting pay range: the Director of Operations role, for example, lists $120,000 to $135,000.
Yes. Ballotpedia hosts paid internships throughout the year, and they are 100% remote. Interns work 10 to 20 hours a week and earn at least $15.00 an hour, or the state minimum wage if that is higher.
