BEGiN Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

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

Solid salary combined with upside potential.

Review from Marketing Dept

nothing really - it's pretty standard

Review from Product Dept

Equity compensation in a fast growing startup

Review from Operations Dept

Holiday and PTO schedule is generous.

Review from Product Dept

Was offered a competitive salary. Salary information was straightforward during interview/offer process.

Review from Design Dept

Competitive salaries and benefits that support families.

Review from Design Dept

My salary along with vacation and health care -- the matching IRA is also a big plus

Review from Product Dept

At the moment, it is the quality health insurance we have. My wife and I are about to start IVF, and our insurance covers 100% of the costs, minus the max out of pocket costs. It's a huge burden lifted for us.

3 weeks vacation and week off in the winter.

Review from Marketing Dept

There is a clear commitment to inclusivity across the benefits offerings. From paid holidays to bereavement to sick time, BEGiN shows that they want to represent everyone fairly.

Insurance paid entirely for my insulin pump, something I'd been waiting on getting again for years.

Review from Engineering Dept

Benefits are decent and salary is competitive

Review from Marketing Dept

401k matching which is not a given at a startup

One Medical. It's the easiest way I've had in a while to keep track of my appointments. I just wish they had more locations in east LA.

Review from Engineering Dept

Competitive equity to guvr everyone a piece of the company

Review from Marketing Dept

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

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.
