I'd highly recommend doing an internal, anonymous, survey to see if employees are happy with their compensation. Literally every GitLab employee I've talked to is extremely unsatisfied and tends to agree with the sentiment about being underpaid relative to other companies for those not in SF, and a very common theme I've heard is being heavily low balled when reaching the offer stage. Somewhat anecdotal but still more so than other software companies willing to pay market rates, also worth noting I am not a GitLab employee just a very common theme when chatting with them. Something is obviously wrong with your "compensation calculator" if the general sentiment is this widespread.
- YorickPeterse 7y agoSalaries at GitLab were increased (at least for engineers) towards the end of 2018. This meant that at least my salary went from so-so to something I am actually really happy about (this was combined with some other adjustments, such as my experience level), and something that is hard to beat here in The Netherlands. In other words, the opinion will vary from person to person.
- emilycook 7y agoGitLab employee here, who have you been talking to? Because that has 100% not been my experience working here. I live in a pretty middle-tier area, and I was offered a salary that was pretty much on-par with I was making at the company I worked for locally. My draw to GitLab wasn't the idea that I'd be making a SF level salary, it was (primarily, for me) the ability to work remotely. I couldn't really care less that I'm getting paid less than my colleagues in SF, because the ability to get paid the same amount that I would at a local company while working remotely was already worth it.
