What benefits does Genius Monkey provide?
Pretty much all of your run of the mill benefits like healthcare etc but the best ones are plenty of PTO which builds up rapidly the longer you are here. A fully stocked kitchen with all you can eat snacks drinks, nitro cold press coffee, kombucha and beer on tap and more. But quiet Fridays are the best in my opinion. Basically the office is closed on Fridays and you work from home but its highly encouraged to not bother team members so that it serves as a day for catching up and relaxing if you are already caught up

Pretty quick compared to other places I worked. If they like you they have hired on the same day as the interview. Getting to the interview is pretty simple and quick too.
What should I wear for an interview at Genius Monkey?
The ones I have seen work the best is to dress sharp. Not nessisarily a suit but look professional. The office attire around Genius Monkey is very laid back but thats only after you get hired on.
