Karat Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

It was well rounded with a good base salary and good benefits

Tailored to my life needs

Thevacation plan. The culture is built around unlimited vacation and because of this the team works extra hard to accomplish great things knowing they can also take time needed with family or just to step away and relax.

Comp is very nice. Benefits are great and we all have meaningful equity!

Our benefit package is great

Unlimited PTO + early exercise options.

Good salaries for employees. While the benefits are a bit lower than other larger companies since we are still a startup, the salaries make up for it.

Review from Engineering Dept

Despite being a startup, Karat lives its human-first values and offers paid parental leave and a 401k. Not to mention totally affordable health and dental insurance.

Unlimited time off and the 401 K plan

The compensation is based very thoughtfully and fairly off of your role will be producing for and providing to the company as a whole.

Competitive within the market and we have regular performance reviews to make sure we are being paid fairly.

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

They get a lot of unpaid work done by the new hires in the onboarding process whereby a candidate may need to spend many hours or even days going through their documentation and none of it is paid for. Even after that, there is no guarantee of any amount of work you may or may not get.

Review from Engineering Dept

The fact interviewers get paid the same regardless of their experience and skills set is a joke (their senior interviewer title does not make any sense). There is no sharing of equity and other benefits. interviewers are expected to perform like employees while being paid as contractors.
