What is the best part about your compensation package?

Real bonuses, not token ones.

Really fair compared to other companies + annual bonus

Medical benefits are world class and definitely amongst the best in my geographical region

Review from Executive Dept

High base salary supplemented by a high and consistent bonus

Free health care with no deductable or copay

It's very competitive, and the signing bonus has remained where other industries (i.e., law) have removed it.

Base pay, 401k, benefits an

medical insurance is the best

High fix salary and less variable pay

Practically free medical, dental and vision insurance plus immediately vested retirement benefits whether you contribute or not

Insurance, gym membership card, special deals etc.

Fair compensation for my role.

Review from Operations Dept

Largely cash, rather than options that are tied up for years and years

Review from Executive Dept

it is very cash heavy

Review from Executive Dept

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

We have very long hours

For employees who have previous experience and joined in a junior role, Re-evaluate salary when they get promoted instead of gradual increase.

My male counterparts are paid more in base and bonus with lower ratings than me.

Compensation for consultants is great. However, if you are not a consultant expect to make a very mediocre salary below national averages.

Compensation average or even low compared to the market and the expectations they have from employees

better options outside specially in tech

More money of course. Target school consultants should receive a small consideration premium.

Partners are overpaid while all the other levels are underpaid for the amount of work and stress

Review from Operations Dept

Analysts are underpaid compared to market

paid middle-low end of the pack for 80hr weeks and tons of stress
