Our compensation philosophy
We articulated our compensation philosophy when we were still a team of two; our way of taking care of the team before they walked in the door.
Cohesive
Otter’s compensation strategy fits together as a whole, with each individual piece making sense in light of the overall strategy.
Consistent
Like individuals should be treated alike. There should be no differentiation based on irrelevant factors, like a better understanding of equity compensation.
Coherent
Otter’s compensation strategy should be clear and easily understood by team members.
Current Positions
To build childcare that feels like family for families everywhere, we need a team with all kinds of different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds.
