Review from Admin Dept

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

Would like a raise for all my hard work and be paid more fairly

Review from Marketing Dept

I actively make decision on how to invest time and budget to drive success in the region, both strategically and hands-on and my compensation is lower than the market in my country.

Review from Marketing Dept

I have been working with the company for almost three years now. I have been moved to many different roles and have done my best at helping achieve the specific team goal.

Review from Engineering Dept

The compensation lags behind taking on additional responsibilities by some time.

Review from Operations Dept

I feel as though I undervalued myself during the hiring process because I really wanted to be part of a dynamic company such as DataStax. But, I know that, if I keep executing & putting my best foot forward, my efforts/value added will be reflected towards my compensation.

Review from Operations Dept

Better pay raises. Getting a promotion resulted in my salary being compared to others in my area and only a 2% increase. I've received a promotion and a separate raise totaling less than a 10k difference over 3 years. Plus stock refreshers would make it more competitive.

Review from Engineering Dept

As a leader of my role, I would expect to have a staff under me. This will not happen, and my salary would not increase significantly for the amount of work I do here.

Review from Operations Dept

401K matching and a more generous maternity leave policy

Review from Sales Dept

I've done some research for someone in my position and it appears that I'm underpaid. Either a salary bump or shares would make me feel better.

Review from Sales Dept

The overall package for bay area is not on par with other companies of aimilar aoze

Review from Engineering Dept

I feel valued every day. The company has allowed for me to grow exponentially since I started and I'm grateful for that opportunity. I lowballed myself coming in and now wish I had asked for higher compensation because my responsibilities have grown considerably.

Review from Business Development Dept

I have far more responsibility than my pay is accounted for since I handle two teams, have been here for over a year, maintain high performance reviews, and exceed goals I believe I should be compensated appropriately yet have not received a significant pay bump.

Review from Marketing Dept

Hot market for tech workers

Review from Marketing Dept

We need to make sure we are looking into the market and making updates so we can retain top talent.

Review from Marketing Dept

I have been moved around and had 7 coaches in 2 years with no career path

Review from Marketing Dept

Matching 401(k). Market value salary. DataStax underpays the market rate for top talent. I have referrals who have gone through the interview process and it was consistently one of the reasons why they declined the offer. I took a lower total package as a trade-off for my goals.

Review from Marketing Dept

The compensation plan rewards wrong behaviors
