Thank you for your feedback. We (HR and Talent Acquisition) do extensive bench-marking against other technology companies in the Bay Area and beyond to ensure we stay competitive in the market with salaries and benefits. That said, things change quickly -- particularly in engineering. If you would like to talk further on this topic, reach out to your manager or HR business partner. If you think we're far off, we'd like to hear it and make changes if needed! -Andrew Levy

Upper management doesn't really know what is going on in the frontline. Its all about numbers but they don't understand that not everything is created and treated equal. Can make for stressful days.
