8th Light Compensation Employee Reviews

All
Positive
Constructive

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Open, true, employee-owned company. Fair compensation based on long-term planning.

Review from Engineering Dept

None. It's really low compared to the current market

Review from Engineering Dept

Well-defined mapping between compensation and performance.

Review from Engineering Dept

Vacation and *additional* conference speaking/attendance time.

Review from Engineering Dept

It reflects what I'm able to accomplish and what value I'm bringing to the company.

Review from Engineering Dept

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

I would feel better if I get paid more per hour.

I'm not sure there's a good way to improve the compensation, as it's normal for contractors to make less. Still a little disappointing.
