We want to make sure you have what you need to be productive and happy in your role at Sourcegraph, so we've come up with a few guidelines to help you when you have work-related expenses. Below you'll find a list of some typical purchases that you would be reimbursed for, as well as a few things to keep in mind when expensing purchases:

• You are free to purchase these items and expense them without asking permission as long as it's in the interest of the company. When in doubt, please contact @sourcegraph/people-ops for clarification before the purchase.
• You likely won't need every single item on this list—please use your best judgment and buy when you need them. Remember, Sourcegraph doesn't have unlimited funds—spend this money as if it was your own.
  • For example, if you intend to work out of a coworking space most of the time, you may not need a fully equipped home office as well.
• If you spend more than $1,000 on any given physical item, it will be considered property of the company.
• Please file an expense report within 60 days of an eligible purchase. See submitting expenses for additional help.

Directions for how to determine how much spend you have left in each travel category, professional development, or desk setup can be found here for additional help.

Desk set-up

Full-time teammates

We expect new teammates to spend up to $2,000 for desk setup, which includes all the items in the "Desk items" section.

As a reminder, you don't need permission for every purchase, and we trust you to make decisions that are in the best interests of Sourcegraph. If you expect to exceed the listed amount on any purchase, however, please notify @sourcegraph/people-ops and [email protected].

We will replace essentials (which are defined as a monitor, keyboard, mouse) provided the original desk budget was used to purchase these. Any replacement within a year will require review.

If you don't spend all of your budget when you first join, it's ok to spend it later providing you remain inside the total budget.

Team-specific totals

• We expect new Design team members to spend $2,650 to allow for purchasing higher-resolution monitors or other design equipment.
