When I first joined, I was shocked at how uncompetitive benefits and compensation was at Ceribell (only got medical and nothing else). Since then they have added 401k match (pretty weak) so I will give them that.
Throughout my time here it seemed like they were going to give us more and I genuinely thought they were going to deliver since it seemed like our voices got heard. I am speaking about a promised market adjustment to all our underpaid salaries, this was the number one complaint from all employees (shown on our annual company feedback).
So what went wrong? They decided to not offer it to many employees and no explanation as to why. Instead, they offered 2% to 3% "merit" increases on base salary which is an absolute joke. I thought this just happened to me but after hearing the same outcome from several colleagues, there is clearly a trend here.
Just to be clear, I am not asking for "big tech money" but rather something in between and fair! We are technically a tech company in the medical space after all!
To sum things up, just know if you decide to work at Ceribell, you will feel like you are working for a cheap company that does not like to spend money on their workforce. Yes you will get medical, 401k match and free food on Thursdays (at HQ) and while those things sounds enticing, trust me nothing but a cheap mentality here.
