Frequently Asked Questions
Playground benchmarks compensation against industry data sources when creating or updating roles to ensure our salary bands are aligned with the market.
We conduct annual compensation reviews to support employee growth and maintain competitive pay over time. When appropriate, we also review compensation off-cycle for specific roles, grounding decisions in market data and company performance.
Our goal is to offer fair, competitive compensation that reflects both individual impact and broader market standards.
We offer a competitive and thoughtfully designed benefits package to support our team both inside and outside of work.
Employees receive a $1,200 annual learning stipend to invest in professional growth and a $400/month lunch stipend to cover daily lunches while working in the office. Our offices are stocked with snacks, frequent treats, and incredible coffee from Cometeer.
We provide competitive health, dental, and vision insurance options, including a $0 premium health plan for employees. We also offer commuter benefits and other ancillary perks.
Team members receive 18 days of PTO in addition to company-wide holidays to ensure meaningful time to recharge. We recently introduced a 401(k) plan to help employees invest in their long-term financial future, and we offer standard parental and bereavement leave policies.
As we continue to grow, we regularly revisit our benefits to ensure they remain competitive and aligned with employee feedback and market standards.
Yes! Every full-time employee at Playground receives equity in the company. The amount varies based on role and level.
We believe equity is an important part of building a strong ownership culture. When you join Playground, you’re not just an employee; you’re helping build and shape the future of the company. And as we grow and succeed, our team shares in that upside.
