Fingerprint Response
1yWe’re sorry to hear this was your experience. While we won’t comment on individual situations, we want to clarify a few key points:
Terminations: We communicate personnel changes on a need-to-know basis to protect individual privacy. We do not—and will not—send out company-wide announcements when someone leaves or is let go. That’s intentional and respectful.
Compensation Transparency: Compensation, including salary and equity, is discussed and negotiated during the offer process. We maintain a public Notion page available to all employees outlining our compensation philosophy, salary bands, and detailed equity framework—down to grant amounts by level and timing of refreshes. Employees can also view their full comp details through their HRIS profile at any time, including their salary ranges. We’re transparent about how salary bands are created, where the market data comes from, and when/how salary increases occur.
Contracts: Like in any professional environment, employees are responsible for reading and understanding the agreements they sign. HR is available to clarify questions, but the responsibility to understand what you’re agreeing to ultimately lies with the individual.
Equity & Contact Info: Once you accept your equity grant in Carta, your profile is accessible to you. It’s your responsibility to ensure your personal contact information is added—especially if you're planning to leave the company—so that you continue to receive time-sensitive updates like option exercise windows.
We take feedback seriously and are always working to improve. We’re committed to a respectful, transparent, and accountable workplace for everyone.
Thanks, Alina (VP of People)
