📋 Peer Intelligence Summary
What this means for your compensation strategy
1. Engineering compensation is your biggest vulnerability. You rank last among peers in 5 of 6 key technical roles. Datadog and Cloudflare are 15-17% above you — and they're actively ramping hiring.
2. Sales is your strength. You're #1 in Account Executive comp. Protect this advantage — MongoDB is expanding Sales aggressively.
3. Twilio's contraction is your opportunity. They're cutting 31% of open roles. Their IC4-IC5 engineers are available now. Move fast.
4. Salary transparency gap. 4 of 5 peers post full ranges. You don't. This is a candidate experience issue.
5. Underinvested in Engineering and Data/ML. Peers allocate 42% of hiring to engineering — you're at 31%. If AI/ML is strategic, you're behind.
