Upgrade Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

We get stock options and a 401k match.

Review from Operations Dept

unlimited vacation and great benefits, above average salary

Review from IT Dept

Total rewards is very equitable

Review from HR Dept

Salary and equity packages are extremely competitive.

Upgrade pays for 100% of the premiums for our benefits, which is a very nice touch.

Review from Operations Dept

The balance between equity/base comp. Upgrade keeps up with the competitive salaries of the Bay Area.

They pay you well (base+equity) as they want their employees happy and wanting to stay. Full benefits and health/wellness initiatives!

Review from IT Dept

Everything about it is amazing

Upgrade has been so kind to me and my family!! for example Bereavement is provided!! They were there for me without knowing what impact that benefit made!!

Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits package.

Healthcare is paid for by the company. They say they match 401k up to 3% but I haven't seen that yet for 2020

It's a combo, salary + benefits

competitive cash and equity and benefits

Base salary is good, and regular salary adjustments are made instead of the classic yearly review schedule.
