Newsela Compensation Employee Reviews
All
Positive
Constructive
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The compensation package may not align with many other tech companies, but other tech companies will not offer you as healthy of a culture and work-life balance that Newsela does.
Review from Customer Success Dept
fair to the market rate
Review from Sales Dept
Comparing in the labor market, I don't think Newsela's compensation package is outstanding. Though, not comparing for a second, of course my salary is the most important part of what Newsela offers me, and I'm incredibly grateful for the privilege of having such solid financial stability.

Review from Engineering Dept
Flexible time off and generous paid holidays
Review from Sales Dept
Flexible time off and WFH has allowed me to get the most out of my personal life and my career here at Newsela. NewselaU as well has allowed me to enrich in outside learning that I find super interesting.
Review from Engineering Dept
The salary and benefits are competitive in the space.
Review from Sales Dept
Having equity in the company
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
There needs to be more done around equity and access for people with disabilities or limitations. Due to medical issues, I was not able to attend company events in-person and, in one situation, no remote joining was provided. In another situation, the remote attendance setup was poorly organized
Review from Customer Success Dept
Compared to other CS positions we average at least 10k less
Review from Customer Success Dept
I see people promoted out of favoritism not work ethic, or experience.
Review from Sales Dept
Less so about compensation, but a need for clearly career trajectory is evident.
Review from Sales Dept
Pay transparency and annual performance-based and/or cost of living increases. Lower cost benefits.
Review from Sales Dept
higher pay, I think the company in general underpays compared to tech competitors. Better benefits e.g. 401K matching!!
Review from Product Dept
I would change to a monthly commission scale and provide more opportunities to make higher commissions earlier in the year. As it stands now, we do not have the opportunity to make significant commissions until the end of the year. There needs to be a higher commission percentage throughout the year
Review from Sales Dept
I took a pay cut to join Newsela, but my overall job satisfaction is higher at Newsela than at my previous job, even though my hours are longer at Newsela. Working less hours would make me feel better about my compensation.
Review from Product Dept
There is a lot of confusion about salary bands across the company
Review from Engineering Dept
Providing a better understanding of earning potential.
Review from Product Dept
Financial compensation compared to peers at Newsela and within the Edtech industry is a bit low. I do feel valued, though.
Review from Engineering Dept
Travel compensation for employees who commute
Review from Sales Dept
Upper management and leadership do not listen to employees.
