Oso Compensation & Benefits
We use Pave for compensation benchmarking to ensure our salary and equity packages are competitive with the market. Our compensation is based on Tier 1 city rates, and we pay at the 75th percentile in cash compensation comparative to companies at our funding stage.
Our compensation philosophy is straightforward: we set pay based on how we expect someone will contribute to the team, not on factors like years of experience or negotiation skills. This approach ensures fairness while allowing us to attract and retain top talent in a competitive market.
Our employees rate our compensation and benefits 4.9 out of 5 stars on Glassdoor, reflecting our commitment to competitive and fair pay.

Our benefits reflect our commitment to supporting you as a whole person, not just an employee.
Yes! Every team member at Oso receives stock options because we want everyone to be an owner here. Equity is a significant part of our total compensation package, not just an afterthought.
We use Pave for equity benchmarking and offer equity at the 90th percentile based on tier 1 city rates, compared to companies at our funding stage. This means our equity grants are more generous than 90% of comparable startups, reflecting our belief that early team members should share meaningfully in the company's success.
Our total compensation package is designed to be highly competitive while giving you substantial upside as Oso grows. As an early-stage, well-funded company backed by investors like Sequoia, Felicis, and Harpoon Ventures (having raised $26M to date), joining now means you'll have a disproportionately large impact not just on our product, but on the culture and future of the company itself.
We also offer a referral equity program, rewarding team members who help us bring in great talent with additional equity.
