Hi Do you require work experience for the SE roles? I am looking for a junior/entry level SE position, you think I should apply to them?

I believe they do, but the best source for that would be https://www.thorn.org/careers/ to see if anything fits.

Serious question - Can you talk a bit about how you support emotional / mental health for your employees?

Hey, yep! I'd say it's a combination of several things:

- team / coworker support

- we have access to group wellness sessions with therapists

- we have access to individual wellness sessions with therapists

- we bake limited exposure into our products / dev environments

- overall attitude of wellness and self-care through the entire org from top to bottom (for instance, we have "unlimited" style PTO that everybody actually uses and is encouraged to use for wellness, _in addition_ to three weeks that the entire org shuts down over the holidays)

I may be forgetting something, those are just the biggest impact things for me as a software engineer.

I don't believe we are set up to handle the legal requirements around student visas, but check out the job postings in case it looks like you are able to match one.
