Amazing health benefits with good support systems

Review from Product Dept

Base package and internet and travel

Review from Engineering Dept

Fair and transparent, competitive and flexible

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

Pay is below industry benchmarks and salary adjustments are minuscule.

Pay per industry standards only

Men are paid more and advance faster. Especially Indian men.

Increase compensation equivalent to other tech companies

Review from Product Dept

We charge a premium for our services as experts but don't match the compensation of those we consult for.

Review from Engineering Dept

No regard for employee or their well being.

I have offers of 3x outside tw

Pay is not proportional to responsibility or what is offered for similar roles outside of TW.

It feels below average compared to other companies that I know of

I didn't put my hand up for more

Salary increment is needed. Even though TW is a great place to work, salary is on the lower side

Review from Product Dept

Full transparency in compensation and in the compensation process; this does not exist

Review from Engineering Dept

You're told you get a raise every year but the process is unclear and constantly changing. They will tell you that the great work your doing is expected when your title changes but you pay will not match that title change at all. After two years you still will not make what other comps start with
