At Adafruit, we do our best to provide all of our team members with a benefits package that helps them maintain a good work-life balance. Our current package includes great health care, 401k, commuter tax benefits, paid time off for charity, paid holidays, paid family leave, paid vacation, and free snacks and beverages.
Our most recent addition that we are very excited to provide is a Mother’s Room. It’s a comfortable, private and secure space only accessible to new nursing moms. The space includes:
couch, ottoman, rug, small desk and lamps to create a comfy and pleasing space inside the Adafruit factory
private refrigerator and sink
beverages and snacks provided by Adafruit
storage for mothers’ personal belongings
We will continue to add to the space as we get feedback from the new moms.
Thanks to the Adafruit team members who were instrumental in building and planning out this space. It means a great deal! 🙂

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
