Pros
I’ve worked at a few companies over the years, and the culture at Checkr stands out. The people here are genuinely some of the best I’ve worked with. Smart, collaborative, and just good humans.
Leadership is approachable at every level, which makes a big difference day to day. You don’t feel like you’re shouting into the void. Ideas are heard, and there’s real openness to trying new things.
There’s also a strong investment in growth, especially around AI. It’s not just a hype here, I really feel like I’m being empowered for change by this company. You’re actually given tools and encouraged to use them, experiment, and get better. That mindset carries across the company.
The events and employee experiences are top tier. Sales Club was easily one of the best company events I’ve ever been part of, and even smaller on-site events feel intentional and well thought out, not just thrown together.
Work-life balance is real here. People work hard, but there’s a respect for life outside of work that you can feel. It’s a place where you can do meaningful work without burning out.
Benefits overall are strong, and there’s a lot of effort put into creating connection across teams, whether you’re remote or in person.
On top of that, the day-to-day perks are great. Food onsite is a huge plus, and the San Francisco location is prime. It makes being in the office feel like a great place to be, not something you’re trying to avoid.
Cons
There’s no 401k match currently, which is something I’d love to see improved. That said, the overall benefits package and culture do a lot to make up for it.
