Don't leave! We’re constantly striving to be a great place to work and the kind of creative environment where people are happy to spend a long part of their careers. However, we understand that leaving organisations to join others/to start one's own, or to follow other pursuits is a natural part of an organisation's lifecycle. Our hope is that every person leaving the organisation thinks back of their time with us with great affection. We want to enable our people to leave the organisation gracefully, but not leave the relationships. To that end, we aim to make all exits as smooth as possible.
Please give us as much notice as possible. For example, we’d love for you to tell us when you’re applying to school if possible and not after you get in. A number of our current colleagues are applicants-in-process with some of the best universities in the world.
Do tell us that there's a job you're thinking of interviewing for, not after you’ve accepted an offer to start in a few weeks’ time. We know this can be difficult and unusual, but come talk to us as soon as you are thinking about leaving. Maybe there's something we can do. And even if there isn't, we won't hold it against you.
We would also like for you to participate in an exit interview with the HR & Talent Experience Team as part of your off-boarding process. We want to keep being better and your feedback matters. A lot of the policies on this handbook have been shaped by points of feedback from exit interviews.
As a confirmed full-time part of our team, you will be required to serve a notice period of 30 days. We’ll certainly try to be flexible with this, but the notice period helps the company find your replacement and not over-burden your teammates as you prepare to leave.
The average notice period in most other companies are between 60 to 90 days so the expectation is that that’s the approximate time it’ll take for your replacement to join in.
Additionally, you are expected to set up a detailed handover to your team lead and ensure no loss of information. You are also encouraged to suggest/help set up interviews for who you believe would make for a great replacement.
