Our vision
Payscale’s vision is to transform the efficiency and equitableness of the compensation industry by delivering the world’s best compensation data, software and services.
Our Values
Respect every individual, work as a team
- We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of level, respects each individual and allows for all voices to be heard.
- We do this by assuming positive intent of one another and giving and receiving feedback.
- When we miss, we own it and don't point fingers so we can recover quickly and focus back on the problem we're working to solve together.
- We take accountability and ownership but share credit and our wins, and losses as a team.
Customer first, customer centric
- We work towards solving problems in the best interest of the customer instead of the best interest of our own teams.
- We spend time deeply understanding our customers so we can design and deliver solutions with them in mind.
- We focus so much on understanding our customers that we’re not bothered by the competition.
Bias towards action
- We don't wait until tomorrow to accomplish something we can do today.
- The compensation space can change rapidly, and we believe in taking fast action to stay ahead of our competition.
- We are intentional in our decision making when we may need to tradeoff speed for more intensive analysis.
Commit to excellence (we give our best everyday)
- We're hard to satisfy. We don't settle for ‘good enough’ or believe in mediocre. We expect excellence and give it our best every day by focusing on outcomes and results instead of activity.
- We hold a high bar for delivering to our customers and an even higher bar for ourselves and those around us.
- While we may identify a solution to a problem in the right now, we know we’re at our best when we’re committed to iteration.
Data driven decisions
- Data is what we do. We believe in knowing the details, data, and trends behind both what we do and how we do it.
- We focus on using data internally to make our decisions, but we don't get caught in analysis paralysis. We use our judgement to strike the balance.
