Cockroach Labs has run its compensation program on Pave for more than four years—not just standard merit cycles, but off-cycle work like quarterly equity refreshes. Lauren Weber, Senior Director of People Operations and Development, shares how Pave has become the team's compensation source of truth, giving both managers and leadership the context they need to trust the numbers.
Key Wins
- Runs everything from annual focal reviews to quarterly equity refreshes and other off-cycle changes in one system
- Gives managers full visibility into an employee's comp history, providing complete context behind every decision
- Uses Peer Groups to show leadership exactly which named companies sit behind the benchmark data, rather than an anonymized aggregate
- Builds lasting credibility and confidence in compensation decisions across the org, backed by 4+ years of data
"We're finding a lot of value in knowing that Pave is always our compensation source of truth."
— Lauren Weber, Senior Director of People Operations and Development
