• When you book travel, please use Kayak or a similar service and look for good fares. If you have a long flight, it's OK to book an "extra room" seat in coach so that you can get work done. We don't do business or first class. Don't eat at super-fancy 4-star restaurants or take town cars everywhere. Just be reasonable.

• Online services that save us time and effort are totally worth the money. We subscribe to a bunch of them: GitHub, Slack, Confluence, Jira, and ZOOM, to name a few.

• Tidepool doesn't pay for home internet connections (nor for electricity or water or garbage service, for that matter). Having a fast internet connection at home for work and personal use is routine these days.

• If you are a full-time U.S. Employee, Tidepool will purchase a laptop and an external monitor for you if you need one, but you are also welcome to use your own machine(s) as long as they have been set up and audited according to our HIPAA and security policies. Please note that Tidepool-purchased equipment remains the property of Tidepool, unless other arrangements are made in writing.
