Life at Carta: A Team of Unconventional Builders | Carta
A team of unconventional builders
Real innovation takes a team effort. Carta is a place for those who love seeking out and solving interesting problems to take ownership in what they’re creating, together.
Life at Carta
Carta happenings
Town Hall
We gather on Fridays for our company all-hands, a time to get together, share context and updates about what we’re building, and provide an open space to ask questions.
Show and Tell
Every Wednesday, teams share works-in-progress, product demos, and interesting problems they’re solving so we can learn from each other.
Hackathons
Quarterly Hackathons give employees the opportunity to work with new people on projects they’re passionate about that bring value for our customers.
Company Day
Every Cartan has the full Claude tool suite and comprehensively applies AI in how they work. We host ongoing company wide trainings, hackathons and forums to learn, showcase process and outcomes, and support ongoing AI application and integration at Carta.
"There’s so much fascinating complexity to what we’re building, and it affects a whole network of people. It’s hard to think of an organization I could work at with more potential to change the world."
Reed McBride,
Senior Director of Business Development
"I love the culture and the people at Carta so much. I’ve met people who aren’t just co-workers, they’re really great friends who I can depend on in my life."
Marcia Saetang,
Brokerage Operations Associate
"You know that what you’re doing is going to have such an impact—it creates a culture where everyone around you wants to see each other be successful. At Carta, if I’m working on a complex problem, I always have a friend or colleague right there to jump in and help me solve it."

We want every Cartan to be the best version of themselves
Here are a few ways we help make that goal a reality.
- Book reimbursement: We’re a curious bunch and believe reading stokes that curiosity. We encourage Cartans to consume books of all forms and topics, and fully reimburse their cost with no yearly cap.
- Carta Business School: We believe the next generation of leaders at Carta will come from within. To develop these leaders, we offer intensive multi-day sessions covering topics including management principles, product design, sales strategy, and organizational design.
- Fertility coverage and parental leave: We recognize that there are many paths to parenthood and we support Cartans on their diverse journeys. We cover fertility treatments, egg freezing, and 100% paid baby bonding leave (12 weeks) and birthing parent leave (up to 22 weeks).
- Mental health coverage: To be your best self, mental health comes first. We care deeply about our team’s wellbeing and offer eight coaching and eight therapy sessions to every employee and their dependents per year.
- Minimum time off: We know that you can only do your best work when you have balance—and that unlimited vacation often goes unused. Our MTO program means every employee takes at least three paid weeks off every year. After that, paid time off and sick days are unlimited.
- 401k matching: Our team works every day to build a generational company, and we want to help them build and secure their own futures as well. After six months of employment, we match 401ks 50%, up to $5,000 per calendar year.
