Life at amo

To ensure that everyone is set up for success within our way of working, we work together onsite 5 days a week.

We wanted to make sure coming to the office is as comfortable as possible for you:

• We chose a location in central Paris, near Opera (Metro lines 3,8,9 and RER A).

• We have a beautiful Parisian-style office with high ceilings, balconies, and huge windows. So a lot of natural light!

• We reimburse your commuting expenses 100%.
  

Because life outside of work should also be stress-free, we cover:

• Health care (100% coverage).

• Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave, Second Parent Leave (salary maintained at 100%).

• We shut down entirely twice a year — two weeks in the summer and one week in the winter to allow everyone to truly recharge and to avoid prolonged slowdowns (especially in the summer). This enables everyone to actually disconnect and enjoy their vacation. No Slack, no email, no FOMO. Per French standard, we also offer another 4 weeks to allow team members to choose when they want to take time off.

We love the diverse perspectives we get from having people from all over the world join us, and so we of course support relocation to Paris with:

• Help and sponsored visa process.

• 1 month of Airbnb 100% covered by amo upon arrival.

• Assistance from Settlesweet to find your permanent home.

• Help with french paperwork like opening a french social security account, tax forms and more.

• French lessons to be fully set with your new Parisian life.
