Instead of the usual options or cash bonuses, the company prefers to reward its best developers in gold
This year, 21 employees received a gift of custom keycaps made of pure gold. Awards are given for outstanding career achievements, special dedication to the company and significant services to it.
The most impressive key was the "space bar" weighing 35.02 grams. Its estimated value is 45 thousand dollars. Probably, the value of the gift directly depends on the track record and the number of years worked in the team.
Golden cupcakes are not the only form of "metal" motivation in the company. Gold is awarded on other occasions. For example, in honor of the decade, interns were awarded gold stickers weighing 0.36 grams each. On the occasion of significant life events, such as a wedding or the birth of a child, an employee can claim a 1 gram coin made of pure gold. In addition, a 50-gram 999-proof ingot was raffled off among the team at the end-of-the-year party.
Insta360's management explains its choice in favor of gold in a very pragmatic way: the value of currencies and stocks is subject to constant fluctuations in the market, while gold remains a stable and reliable asset.
