Work-life balance at Kensho is perfect for me. You're given a lot of autonomy in work schedule and location. I have two small children and the rest of my family live in the UK. Working at Kensho, I'm solving really cool and interesting problems AND I get time to spend with all my family.

Kensho is my home away from home! I’ve never worked for a company that genuinely cares as much about all of their employees’ wellbeing, from providing a very flexible work-life balance and celebrating successes both big and small. Not to mention you get to work alongside so many amazing and smart individuals who are always willing to lend an ear (or a hand!)
