Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. There are great opportunities for everyone at Mindtools and Kineo, and we are on such an exciting journey, together. We benchmark our salaries against external market data and aim to review them regularly, although being a fully remote organisation can occasionally influence these comparisons. Alongside salary, we offer an above-average benefits package. We’re always looking at how we can continue to improve, and feedback like yours plays an important role in that.
