About Basecamp
We built Basecamp because we need what you need: a system to help stay on top of it all. A way to keep people on the same page, organize and share information, discuss, make, and nail down decisions. A system that helps us prioritize meaningful work, cut out wasted time, and restore some work-life balance to employees.

Summer Hours
During summer, we work 4-day work weeks, aka “summer hours”. Summer hours are in effect from May 1 through August 31 each year. (An employee who has just been hired may have to complete a training program per their team lead to be eligible). Summer weeks are 4-day work weeks, so when a holiday occurs over summer, you can take the holiday off or your normal summer day off.
Company credit card
If you work in the US, you should carry a Basecamp American Express card in your name. You can use the card for any work-related expenses, such as travel, software, or office supplies. If you have any doubts about whether or not to expense something, just ask. We require a receipt for all expenses of $50 or more. When you do buy something with the card, get a receipt!
Coworking Space Stipend
Basecamp will pay up to $200/month for you to use towards renting coworking space in your city. Please make sure you’re using a true coworking space that’s meant solely for working, not a club or social space.
Awair
The air you breathe in your home affects your health, productivity, and overall quality of life. We offer every new employee at Basecamp an Awair Element to monitor your indoor air quality.
