FWIW... I work at a (~50 person) engineering design and fabrication firm. Our cost for Sr. scientist level folks is about ~300k USD fully burdened.
At a big pharma company in the bay area... that number was more like ~400k USD for a principle engineer.
So for Moz: ~286k USD per employee in the bay area is cheap, IMO... and I imagine their is a big distribution in that number across employee level and job descriptions.
- shuckles 6y agoMuch of Mozilla was remote, at least based on the locations of laid off people on the Mozilla Lifeboat page shared yesterday.
- manquer 6y agoMore than half of Mozilla staff are remote , there are very very few companies outside big tech that can support 1,000 strength office in Bay Area, and it would be inefficient to do so. It is true that for some skills Bay Area is the best and perhaps only available talent pool, even in high tech company like Mozilla that kind of talent is maybe 10-20 % of their overall workforce , for the rest there is cheaper and equally good alternatives available
- dleslie 6y agoMozilla has a great many employees, engineers even, who are not in the bay area.
- tinus_hn 6y agoDo they have 1000 senior employees and no one who earns less? Because that’s what you need to make that the average.
- ttul 6y agoMozilla has a gold-plated healthcare plan for its US team. No co-pay at all. They cover absolutely everything.
- MagnumOpus 6y agoYou assume that every employee at Moz is a principal engineer or senior scientist. This is not the case.
