Stack Overflow Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?
Outside of the pay, I appreciate all the smaller pieces of our package, for example the home office setup budget and Calm subscription
Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 3 days ago
The fully sponsored benefits package is best in class.
Review from Sales Dept
pension, stock options, bonuses, medical care, educational expense reimbursement
Review from Engineering Dept
The money is fair, but my favourite part is the vacation schedule. There are a number of company days off, we get some extra afternoons in the summer, and extra time between Christmas and New Years on top of our regular vacation days.
Review from Engineering Dept
The pay, with the wifi stiped and gym contributions

Benefits by far are the best!
Review from HR Dept
It is very competitive, and free!
Review from HR Dept
They are the best I've had of all previous employers! Free healthcare, an employer funded HRA, retirement, and of course the sabbatical.
100% benefits are provided - no out of pocket expense. Amazing benefits.

Review from Engineering Dept
The health insurance is the best I've seen. 100% coverage with no out-of-pocket expenses.
Review from Engineering Dept
Equity and 401k are very generous
Review from Engineering Dept
Health insurance is completely paid for by the company.
Review from Sales Dept
HRA which means we dont have to pay medical copays
Review from Sales Dept
The health benefits are amazing. I've never had to pay out of pocket for my health expenses. Free virtual therapy.
Review from Sales Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
More compensation would make me feel better about my compensation. I regularly get offered positions with significantly higher pay.
Pay should be higher like how it is at other tech companies.
Review from Customer Success Dept
Base salary is not in line with the industry. Had to take a substantial pay cut in salary to work at SO. There's no room to increase salary even when you're exceeding your goals.
Review from Sales Dept
From a salary perspective, I am underpaid by about 25%, but the benefits make up a partial difference. Not many companies can match our benefits. This is also an FYI as I'm too lazy to look for another job.
Review from Customer Support Dept
My commission plan is wrong, has been for 9 months. I'm excluded from bonuses whereas my colleagues on the same team are eligible. My scope of work is not known / understood by my manager.
Review from Customer Success Dept
No pay rise in almost 3 years, even though I have assumed more responsibility and overachieved during a time of uncertainty.
Review from Sales Dept
I would feel better if I were making the same amount as my male counterparts with the same title and responsibilities as me.
Review from Customer Success Dept
There is a great divide in compensation. As a company, we are in the middle. Part of me wonders if I should go elsewhere to make more money, but I really enjoy our company so it's difficult. I'm also in a situation where I've been doing more than my job title for a number of years.
I don't expect compensation to be FAANG good but we should meet in the middle as far as bonuses and other comp.
Review from Engineering Dept
Relative to other tech companies, I think our base compensation is slightly below average, and our stock option/bonus compensation is way below average.
Review from Engineering Dept
Employees were given minimal stock options, and there is no clear review process for a raise or title change. How do I get a raise? How am I doing now? What should I do to be deserving of a raise?
if I was paid the market rate
Review from Engineering Dept
I think that my compensation is not equal to what it should be, as other companies are paying much hire for the position that I am in.
Review from Customer Support Dept
I have direct reports that make more money than me.
