Company Description

Why PayScale?

We believe that transparent, fact-based relationships between companies and employees will generate the best outcomes. One way we're getting there is by crowdsourcing compensation data, crunching it, and delivering industry leading solutions to businesses via SaaS products. We're solving meaningful problems faced by millions of people across the globe. Our products help employees get paid what they’re worth, and employers set pay with science (not guesswork).

What is it like to work at PayScale?

You are likely to laugh. Unless you like eating alone, you rarely will. Your co-workers will invite you to play games on Friday afternoons when we tap the kegs. There is a buzz in the air. PayScale feels like a startup with the stability of an established company.
