At Expel, our employee benefits reflect our commitment to our crew. We provide 25 days annual leave in addition to public holidays, parental leave, and excellent health benefits are some of the ways we care for our Expletives.

While our HQ is in the U.S., we are a global company! Most of our team is remote, and we have full support for remote interaction. We realize that there is also a benefit to in-person interaction so we occasionally meet up in Dublin and there could be some travel to our HQ in Herndon, VA.

We come together as a team in Dublin when it makes sense to collaborate in-person, usually once per month. We also hold team touchdowns in Dublin three-to-four times per year, with guests from other Expel locations and team activities.
