23andMe Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

All equity is worthless and leadership seems afraid to talk about it

The base salary is fair and slightly better than average market rate.

Review from Engineering Dept

Paid family and paternal leave

Stock for early employees are pretty good

Review from Engineering Dept

Total package = Base + Bonus + Options + great Benefits package

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I would feel better about my compensation if there were full transparency on people's salaries at the company. Benefits-wise: I feel like the amount we are asked to pay monthly for our healthcare is way too high. I've worked at start ups that pay for more of my healthcare than 23andMe.

My title doesn't reflect my role, so while the comp may be ok for the title I have, I feel like it is insufficient for my actual role. Getting this "corrected" requires approval through the promotion process, which is slow and uncertain.
