Our Compensation Philosophy

Pave's compensation philosophy is to target the 75th percentile of the market for both cash and equity at your job level. This means that the "mid point" of every band at Pave is the 75th percentile of the broader market.

Pave also has a merit-based philosophy when it comes to compensation increases. We run a performance cycle twice per year to evaluate employees' performance. Higher than average performance ratings result in compensation increases to the upper end of the individual's compensation range for their role. The result is that high performers at Pave are paid above the 75th percentile of the market at large.

Pave is committed to pay equity. If you get an offer from Pave, it will be based on your level as determined by your interview performance. And nothing else. We explicitly do not negotiate salary and equity to ensure that we aren't introducing bias that could lead to pay inequities within the team between candidates who have different negotiation tactics.
