Compensation

Salary Reviews

Salary reviews are dependent on the Performance Reviews and happen in January after the 360 performance review.

Salary Ranges

The engineering team has 4 salary ranges depending on the assessment based on the competency framework.

If, for any reason, your salary is not aligned with your competency level, it will be aligned at the next eligible salary review. Each year, the company re-evaluates these values and updates them according to market and our clients expectations (if necessary).

Meal Allowance

Meal allowance is set to optimize taxation to the current legal maximum of 10,20€ per working day.

To take advantage of these tax benefits we pay the meal allowance by card, using Coverflex) which works on any payment terminal operating within the VISA network. You can check your current balance using the Coverflex app.
