Forget company watches — employees at Metromile receive gifts like world travel and custom Nike trainers to celebrate work anniversaries.

Metromile is a San Francisco-based digital car insurance company designed to serve people living in urban areas; consumers are charged individual rates based on how many miles they drive. The company takes a unique approach to employee engagement programs by offering a number of unconventional perks to employees, which includes a variety of gifts, given at different milestones in the office.

Employees receive an air plant with a card that reads: “Thanks for growing with us.” The succulent is placed in a wooden planter box with the Metromile logo. Most employees display the plant on their desk, Jack says.

A Metromile-branded wireless speaker from Aquathump. Jack says the company wanted to give employees something they could use in their personal time, and a mini speaker to blast their favorite music from their smartphones seemed like a fun option.
