Scratch Financial Compensation & Benefits
Frequently Asked Questions
Scratch's total rewards package combines base salary, performance bonuses, equity, and a 401k match. Pay is reviewed in our annual performance and merit cycle, which also includes our equity retention process. That way, strong contributions are rewarded with both cash and a stake in the company.
Scratchers get covered healthcare (medical, dental, and vision), flex spending accounts, a 401k match, equity, and unlimited PTO. On top of that come paid holidays, wellness days, and paid volunteer time off. New parents receive 8–16 weeks of paid leave depending on tenure, and there's leave for new pet parents too. Other perks include cell plan reimbursement, mental health support and an EAP, a home-office stipend, and weekly catered lunches in our pet-friendly Pasadena office.
Yes. Equity is part of Scratch's compensation, and our equity retention process is built into the annual performance and merit cycle. As a result, employees keep sharing in the company's success as it grows.
