AI startup Rilla provides a rent stipend for employees to support living in New York City, contingent upon residing within 10 to 15 minutes of the office. Employees must be present around 70 hours a week, working from a "996" schedule, which requires long hours six days a week. Despite the rigorous expectations, Sebastian Jimenez, the CEO, promotes employee wellness and encourages regular self-care activities alongside their work commitments.
Employees at Rilla must live close to the office to receive a rent stipend, which aims to reduce commuting time and increase productivity.
The company's 996 work culture means employees work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week, with off-site events often held on Sundays.
Sebastian Jimenez emphasizes the importance of maximizing productive time over the idea of working smarter instead of harder.
Despite the demanding schedule, Rilla encourages employees to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and proper sleep.
