Review from HR Dept

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

I sometimes felt that my contributions, particularly in tackling complex challenges and delivering high-impact solutions, were not fully reflected in my compensation. A more transparent and performance-based approach to salary adjustments and recognition would have helped align my efforts with my va

Review from Engineering Dept

I do not wish to comment

Review from HR Dept

Compensation is not in par with industry for sales, 401k, and stock.

Review from Sales Dept

I think a lot of us are over worked and under paid compared to the industry.

Review from Customer Support Dept

It should be competitive to the market

Review from Customer Support Dept

I'm a manager and I have employees who I know don't make a fair wage when comparing to other employees. I also know some of my employees and the person who recently had my role make a great deal more than me.

Review from Operations Dept

I feel proofpoint can better compensate and much better oerks

Review from IT Dept

Salary is getting less and less competitive each year, and that makes me feel undervalued. Pay raise should be over inflation at least

Review from Customer Support Dept

Wage is below market standard, uplift for unsociable hours is terrible and benefits package is also average.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Lack of promotion in the Belfast NOC team, and a low uncompetitive salary to begin win

Review from IT Dept

The 401k matching is pretty sub-standard

Review from Engineering Dept

TBH yes I believe I am undervalued if I compare the work I do with other people who earn at least double what I earn , despite the massive load and pressure I have plus to teh fact I do in most cases more than what other do, in term of doing Upsel, cross sell and involvement with teh Partner/custom

Review from Sales Dept

The compensation doesn't accurately reflect the actual cost of living.

Review from Operations Dept

ideally it would be great to be paid more.

Review from Operations Dept

We come from a place where cost of living is cheap. So the company pays us shit. We do the same thing as the US Teams for way less pay. Our pay should at least match or almost match the US Team,

Review from IT Dept

for working in this type of field area I feel we dont get paid enough and the tax deduction is way more than the tax deduction if we were working at any job on island. Living expense, Grocery, electric and gas on island is very expensive compare to the states. BUT I love my job!

Review from Operations Dept

Pay rate is based on cost of living however census here is out of date and relatively inaccurate

Review from Operations Dept

our soc is paid lower than other socs . probably due to cost of living location but to be honest our gas currently at 5.56 per gallon while other soc locations are ranging about 4.19 per gallon yet we get paid half of what they get paid and we are doing the same work. but i love this job. thank you

Review from Operations Dept

Being an internal candidate seems to be a dis-advantage when moving to new roles, as the previous job title prohibits a "big jump" in compensation to the new role. Would like to see the critical impact available to employees.

Review from Engineering Dept

I am paid less or around the same as the employees who report to me.
