What is the best part about your compensation package?
Pay is with market, but total package was better before going private.
The salary is googled as market rate. There is also a "mental wellness" reimbursement plan for fun things like Kindle unlimited, zoo, movies, coffees, etc
No hidden deductions. Good insurance policies
Paid health insurance. As well as wellness plan.
Salary is comparable to other local companies. There are no more RSUs and the stock was restricted to Executives only.
Equity package is very competitive
pretty standard package no surprises
Review from Product Dept
It fits and grows as my contribution grows
I am paid well and have good benefits and support from HR and employee resource groups
Review from Sales Dept
Salary is very competitive, and benefits are good too.
salary is above industry average
Best part is the stock and retirement plans. Our PTO is less compared to most tech companies and our insurance isn't solid at all by comparison (lots of out of pocket). Better insurance and PTO will keep us competitive.
Competitive salary. Good bonus and fringe benefit.
401K match, employee stock bonus, improved medical benefits
Equity on a regular basis to invest employees in the business long term.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I didnt have high expectations about salary as it was a start up. But the company executive team has an issue with fairness and ethics.
No more RSU's are given
Product support are hired on initially as contractors and aren't given the same opportunities for benefits and growth as full time employees even though we do the same amount of work. We don't even get the same time off or insurance options.
Paid well below market average for SMB/Mid Market SaaS sales despite regularly exceeding quota. Process for raises is a joke as those allocations are handed out to teams for distribution rather than individual performance. Company-wide perception that you need to leave to get promoted/compensated
If they actually created an environment where you could use your PTO. If salary wasn't so high because of endless overtime hours worked. If new hires showed any ability to do their jobs.
We all talk about our pay with other employees. We can compare and know when we are being underpaid. New employees with no tax experience start out higher than employees that have worked here for years
SVPs & VPs micromanages and do not allow leaders to freely make decisions.
Internal recruiting team does not provide salary range for any positions. If you are promoted internally it's likely at a rate 20-30% lower than someone hired from outside.
Review from Sales Dept
They need to pay people in the market salary range for their position. In many cases, this is the cause for low employee engagement. People like working here, but the compensation causes morale problems.
Leadership fails to realize that more than 50% of my time is absorbed by required administrative activities that do not generate revenue. However revenue is the KPI they focus on most.
Don't feel the company is being transparent about stock dilution. The company quietly raised $96 million in private equity funding in late 2017 without so much as an internal email announcement, marking a clear departure from the massive fanfare that ushered in previous raises.
Review from Product Dept
Management acts like employees are disposable. You have to beg for a raise even if your results are amazing.
