Thanks for including the actual salary. It annoys me when companies say “extremely competitive compensation” but then you realize it’s like 50k (in London).
In my experience, not including the salary is a sign of weakness of a company. Why would you not include it, if it wasn't that you're afraid your salary is not fair? Or is it that people at your company would want to get a raise (they probably deserve) if they saw what you're willing to pay?
In any case: I'm huge fan of transparent job postings and believe that they are a net positive for both sides.
I think most commonly it’s just a game, they don’t want to be the first to say a number because that sets a minimum salary, otherwise they might get someone clueless who’d be willing to take the job for less.. Unfortunately that’s like 99% of the companies!
- fair salaries for the experience and attitude
- no equity, because we believe that a fair salary is better than a lottery equity
- we don't expect people to work overtime and value work-life balance a lot
- we say thank you A LOT
- we hire people who are the best fit for the job
