What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

The Little Passports leadership team care for their employees as people. I don't know personally know the rest of BEGiN's leadership team and can't comment.

Review from Marketing Dept

Their passion, enthusiasm, clear strategy for a way forward & transparency

Review from Product Dept

At a start up, things are not always fully fleshed out in terms of process or producers, but the leadership team takes a very flexible/logical approach in moving quickly and making decisions that are thoughtful.

We have a good vision for the future and a good plan to execute on it

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

Stock options - makes me feel even more accountable to the success - love!

Review from Product Dept

Healthcare coverage, which I know was revised to cover more this year.

Review from Marketing Dept

I like our 401K match and the fact that its fully vested day 1. Would love to see if we can add a Bonus plan to our comp structure.

The base comp seems to be fairly in line with market after last raise.

Its an OK package that all company gives out. Nothing exceptional and nothing exiciting either

Review from Engineering Dept

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

Compensation Reviews

I feel like my work is undervalued because of the lack of headcount on our team. I am currently not paid at market value. For a company that is modern, innovative, and requires a lot of work from each employee, not having unlimited PTO is ludicrous.

Review from Marketing Dept

I am aware of what my peers are paid in the industry, and I know I am paid 10-20% less than that.

Review from Marketing Dept

the org is disorganized and lacks clear focus and mission. There are too many concurrent initiatives that all focus on similar outcomes, that are difficult to juggle and keep up with
