why I built perks

hey, I'm Kandis.

I'm a philosopher, designer and technologist. these days I run Agentic Diaries and co-run BASE64, an AI studio in Dubai. perks is something I wanted to build thirteen years ago. thirteen years on, I still can't find it, and it feels more needed now than ever.

When I got pregnant with my first daughter, I found out how little I actually knew about the company I'd joined.

There wasn't really an HR department. I got pushback for doctor's appointments. I was told I could use two weeks of my own vacation to recover after giving birth. Later I found out I was legally entitled to more.

None of that was visible when I accepted the job. The offer letter told me what I'd be paid. It didn't tell me what working there would actually be like.

So I built Perks.

Built for decisions.
We don't rank companies with one meaningless score. A company can be amazing for a new graduate and terrible for a parent. We show who it's actually a good fit for.
Every claim has a source.
We link to policies, filings and employee discussions so you can decide for yourself.
No sponsored rankings.
Companies can't pay to appear higher in search or earn a better profile.
