What is the best part about your compensation package?
They may not pay top dollar compared to others in the industry, but the healthy culture and mental health benefits far outweigh a few more dollars. "Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife".
A fair package and the opportunity to be recognized for my contributions.
Stock options, free lunch in the office
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Women got paid on average 35% less than men in the same or lower position at the company. Upon being purchased by a public company, it also came to light that the CEO awarded men at the company 800-5000 more stock options than offered to the female employees. Wages are too low for living in HQ city
What are some of the best things about your team?
Most people at the company have good intentions. CEO and Chief People Officer spoiled this though by creating a gendered, barrier laden culture.
The team is diverse, intellectually curious, and incredibly supportive.
Lots of good people who care about you and care about the company

Meeting lots of people, getting a feel for the culture
