Compensation
Pay
Everyone at Menlo is on the same payscale, with cost of living adjustments based on location.
Your base cash pay is determined based on realized impact, not titles. Workstream owners, responsible for the success/failure of a project & team, are compensated more than individual contributors. Folks at the same contribution levels receive equitable base pay.
Based on your progression speed, we have been known to adjust pay frequently and aggressively.
Location
We provide a location adjustment for folks living in a high cost of living area. We use the Numbeo index to arrive at a fair & equitable total.
Bonus
Depending on location, we pay a discretionary cash bonus twice per year. The bonus typically ranges from 5-17% of your base pay, and is based on the company’s performance and your individual contribution.
ESOP
We offer an employee stock ownership plan to all full-time employees. The ESOP is a key part of our compensation package and is designed to align everyone’s incentives with the long-term success of the company. Read our ESOP policy.
