Why CompScience Is a Great Place to Work, Especially for Mission-Driven Talent

The insurance industry is evolving fast. As insurtechs and legacy carriers alike compete to attract the best talent, placement on awards and lists, like “Business Insurance’s Best Places to Work in Insurance”, serve as signals of which companies are taking culture seriously.

At CompScience we believe that benefits, culture, and mission matter just as much as engineering and product excellence. Here’s how we’ve built a work experience that helps us compete for top talent…

Benefits Designed for Real Lives

We know talent is drawn to companies that care about the whole person, not just code or metrics. Our benefits package is robust and thoughtful:

  • Comprehensive healthcare covering medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and for dependents.
  • Flexible (unlimited) PTO, meaning employees can rest and recharge without being tightly micromanaged.
  • Support for life’s big events with short- and long-term leave of absence, plus 12 weeks of parental leave (for birth and/or adoption).
  • Since we’re fully remote, we also support remote work realities. This means phone/internet bill reimbursement and an ergonomics stipend (up to $1,000) to help you furnish a professional and healthy home office.
  • The ergonomics benefit is backed by a full home office assessment from a trained ergonomist; you don’t just get a stipend, you get a personalized setup plan examining what kind of desk, chair, docking station, etc., you need.

These perks are more than nice-to-haves. They reflect a company that respects employees’ health, family, productivity, and comfort, no matter where they live.

Culture That Is Horizontal, Collaborative, & Cross-Functional

We believe high performance can be achieved when hierarchies are soft and teams are tightly aligned. At CompScience:

  • We maintain a structure where voices at all levels are heard.
  • Teams are cross-functional and collaborative, so that engineers, safety experts, data scientists, sales, and operations work closely together toward shared goals.
  • Decision-making is often inclusive, allowing domain experts to lead while still preserving alignment across the company.

For a rapidly scaling insurtech, that kind of cohesion is essential. It helps us move fast without splintering or losing cultural integrity as we grow.

Mission-Driven Work That Matters

CompScience’s mission is to bring workplace accidents to zero. Many prospective candidates are drawn by purpose as much as compensation. As we state on our careers page, we’re on a mission to reshape workplace safety. 

That sense of purpose, when paired with the opportunity to solve real technological challenges, draws people who want to make both an impact and a career.

Recognition from the Industry

The insurance industry is taking notice of both our mission and our company culture. This year, we won the “Best Places to work in Insurance” award in connection with our innovation, remote work, and meaningful offerings. We also won Insurtech of the Year in 2023 and 2025. 

Being part of that conversation gives us visibility among professionals scanning for insurtech employers with both technical rigor and human values.

Let’s Work Together

Startups often try to sell a mission or a product. We like to think CompScience offers culture and mission. We’re still small enough to stay scrappy, big enough to be impactful, and building in benefits, flexibility, and trust so that we remain a compelling employer as we grow.
