Rebrandify: behind the scenes of Expensify’s new design system

We made this design system with the goal of creating a cohesive way to express the Expensify personality across the board, no matter the use-case or medium.

Expensify’s secret sauce for employee retention

While Expensify is known for its spend management superapp, some may be surprised to learn that the people behind Expensify operate with a relatively modest team of around ~135 individuals hailing from all corners of the globe. Even more surprising is that over 66% of staff have been with the company over 4 years, while 50% have worked at Expensify for over 6 years!

CEO Friday: Why we don’t hire .NET programmers

As you might know, we're hiring the best programmers in the world.  Sure, everyone says that.  But my coders will beat up your coders, any day of the week.  For example, Mich is barely 5 foot tall, but is a competitive fencer.  Witold is a 6'3" former professional hockey player.  Nate practices knife fighting for fun.  And they're pretty decent programmers, too.
