🎓 CodeCamp Class of 2025: officially graduated! We’ve just celebrated the first cohort of our 14-week, fully in-house software engineering program, alongside our CodeCamp teachers Mar Doig and Keith Douglas, and our Leadership Team Avi Meir, Robin Smith, Jean-Christophe Taunay-Bucalo. 9 curious and driven individuals who took a leap, worked hard, and are now officially Associate Software Engineers at Perk. Some of these grads came from our own teams: Customer Care, TechOps, and Product Ops. Others joined from completely different worlds like science, teaching, or design. What makes CodeCamp special isn’t just the curriculum (though learning Python, Django, JavaScript, React and more in 14 weeks is no small feat). What really sets it apart is what it stands for: 1️⃣ We believe in betting on potential 2️⃣ We believe career pivots deserve real support 3️⃣ We believe talent can come from anywhere Because when you invest in people, you unlock something powerful. 📸 From the graduation and inside a CodeCamp class.

How much of your talent is being wasted at work? Every day, employees lose an average of 7 hours a week to tedious, time-consuming tasks. We’re talking about action items that plough into work time, like reporting expenses, managing invoices, booking flights, re-booking those flights when they get cancelled. You know what we’re talking about. We call these tasks ‘shadow work.’ They’re essential, but they distract you from the real work.

Your time’s being stolen - about 7 hours a week. The culprit? Shadow work. All those invisible tasks that fuel burnout and cost businesses $1.7 trillion a year. Our CPO, Nikita Miller explains the core problem lies in the Automation Gap. Travel, expenses, and invoices have been historically too nuanced to fully automate - in fact, 74% of invoicing is still done manually. Perk closes the gap with one simple, intelligent platform. So you spend less time chasing receipts or booking travel, and more time driving impact.
