About Cal.com, Inc.

Openness

We're big evangelists of the Open Startup philosophy of publicly showing our core KPIs and company-related metrics, such as growth metrics, equal employer opportunity data and salaries.

Open salaries

We intend to bring clarity, transparency, and fairness to a historically opaque industry.

We fundamentally believe salaries are a function of seniority, impact on an organization, and outcomes–not based on personal living costs.

Salaries and hourly rates for freelancers are opt-in, which means if a team member doesn’t feel comfortable being public with this sensitive information (often for very good reason), they’re never forced to publish it.

Contrarian to most advice out there, the reception inside of the team has been incredibly positive. Transparency reduces jealousy, increases fairness, and promotes racial and gender equality.

Global salaries:

We believe your compensation at any organization should be based purely on meritocracy and what you bring to the table. No manager should know, nor care about your living standards and personal lifestyle.

Our company was born on the web and lives on the web. Our team is fully distributed and works online. We have no physical headquarter and don’t plan to have one. We’re all citizens of the web and thereby equal.

Don’t let people tell you otherwise, but your compensation will always be transactional. And the fairest transaction is money for work.

If the work is of equal quality, it is only fair to pay equal dinero.

We don’t care if you wrote the line of code in Costa Rica, Sweden, or Portugal.

Work = Money.
