  • Health Insurance - Health insurance cover and accident coverage for extra cushion and mental peace when rainy days hit us.
  • Quarterly Off-sites - Quarterly off-sites are a core part of the BiteSpeed culture. Our off-sites range from intense quarter planning sessions to crazy mafia nights and competitive cricket matches (with a lot of trash talking).
  • Cult Fitness Membership - All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Cult Fit and Cult Play passes to make sure we hit the gym more often.
  • Personal Development - We sponsor courses, conference tickets, books on a case to case basis to ensure we’re constantly growing.
  • Salary In Advance - Trust first, by default. We pay out salaries in the first week of the month.
