Elastic https://elastic.co
Some stats:
- Not just "Remote but in the US"
- 1,000+ employees
- 40+ countries
- Local holidays
- Co-working Space stipend, if you want it
- Almost nobody goes to the offices we do have
- Everything is written down and x/referenced: GH, email, Slack
- Zoom for face to face
- Engineering All Hands: Usually twice a year, once EU, once US
- You work on your own Timezone, expecting otherwise is ridiculous
Source: I work for ElasticSo they pay everyone at San Francisco rates?
Sure -- an other example of a company that does salary-by-location is Buffer, which posts its salary calculator online: https://buffer.com/salary/senior-data-scientist-2/average/
My point wasn't to say that Stripe should do one thing or the other regarding location-adjusted alaries. I was asking the previous commenter why he indignant that the question be asked of Stripe at all, as if it were irrelevant.

Expensify! I work as a remote engineer, but we have remote employees all over the world (Europe, Asia, North America, Australia) that don't have their salaries adjusted for COL.

Do you see any reported salaries? The numbers on Glassdoor for Basecamp are quite low when they claim top 10%.

I don't really want or need an SF salary, but I do expect a company to compensate fairly and not based on where I live at any given time. I can understand a reasonable adjustment based on the different compliance costs and payroll expenses for a given political jurisdiction.
Edit: Fair enough. There are companies that pay everyone SF level salaries but you can also find companies like Gitlab - 100% Remote but they explicitly downscale from SF salaries based on location.
