Egregious compensation practices and benefits
Egregious compensation practices and benefits
- Challenging work with a good learning curve.
- Smart peers
-
There is no annual bonus. Promotions place you at the lowest band for that level.
-
There are no refreshers. Stocks are granted for years without the initial stock grant, with 15% assumed growth per year.
-
Overall, if you're an SDE, most other companies pay far superior.
-
Bare-bones benefits with a 2% match on 401k.
- Focus on designing a fair compensation plan that rewards high-performing employees rather than lining executives' pockets.
- Increase the minimum hourly wage for warehouse workers.
- Offer better benefits, such as a higher 401k match, etc.

The interview process was complicated and required a lot of studying and several rounds of interviews. I did not have a good experience. I didn’t feel like the expectations were very clear going in or afterwards.
