Kontras
-Below average starting pay across the board. Approximately 20%-50% below industry average, depending on the job.
-Creative benefits like house cleaning are fun, but are just a tricky way to avoid more more substantial benefits like a 401k, bonuses, etc...
-Company culture promotes growth and advancement, but does not reward employees for it. Even exceptional performance is only rewarded with a 2.5% annual pay increase, which is exponentially more painful when your base salary is already undervalued compared to industry standard.
-Fantastic company culture and values, but when not followed by upper management, it leads to broken promises and discouragement for employees.
