When looking at our Compensation Principles, and in particular reflecting on Simple as a guiding principle, it may not feel at first impression that our Salary System is indeed simple.

Our goal has been to create a system which is as simple as possible, while also being as complex as necessary. There are a few examples of where we believe greater simplicity is possible (see Future Iterations).

On the whole, however, we believe that if the Salary System were any simpler, it would not meet all of our stated goals or capture all the key differences in how a salary should be determined. And, if it were any more complex, it would detract from our pursuit of simplicity and transparency.
