The orgs that hide their salary generally offer below market (but think they can fool you by telling you that they offer a rebate on fitness plans and other extraneous stuff amounting to mere hundreds per year), or they're trying to hide salaries from their own employees. Both are excellent indicators that it isn't worth applying there unless you're out of options.
- dan-robertson 5y agoPlenty of companies that pay above market rate also hide salaries. I don’t know what the theory is (perhaps some attempt to not attract people only in it for the money, but really that just filters out the people who are in it for the money and lack the social network to know that the company pays well, which doesn’t seem better)
- naturalauction 5y agoI also don't know the theory but I'd guess part of it is that it increases loyalty? I know if I got an offer that was substantially higher than expected I'd be much more likely to think that the company valued me specifically/thought I was special, even if they paid everyone else the same.
