🔮 About us - Easy collaboration for fair compensation decisions
Created in October 2020 by Virgile & Bastien, Figures is Europe's leading compensation management platform, helping companies to make fair and efficient salary decisions.
We do that by providing them with reliable up-to-date (real-time) compensation data and the right tooling to manage their compensation process and get rid of spreadsheets.
As of today, we are a team of around 25 people, helping 800 companies all over Europe (with France, the UK and Germany being our core markets). We raised €6.8m in September 2022 to accelerate our expansion.
Our goal is now two-fold:
- Cement our position as the main European compensation platform.
- Continue to expand our product to compensation management as a whole - We’ve launched our new Compensation Review module this year, learn more about it here 🙌

💜 Our Values
You can find all details about our values here.
Radical Candor: we value direct and caring feedback a lot. We believe this is key to personal development and team efficiency.
Why so serious?: you don't have to be serious to do serious work. We value fun in our day to day and we try not to be boring in our communication.
Give a Shit: we don't want to hire "executants" - we're looking for people that will challenge existing processes, strategies, tools, and "own" their scope.
Figure it out: in order to be efficient as a company and for everyone to have a maximum impact, we want everyone to be as autonomous and free to act as possible.
💰 Compensation & Perks 🎁
You can find all details about our compensation policy here.
- On-market salary. We target the market's 50th percentile using data from the best benchmark on the market.
- Above-market equity. We allocate 14% of our company towards employee grants, which is considerably above market practices (the average equity pool size is a bit less than 10%).
- Company incentive program (profit sharing plan).
👉🏼 We believe in a collective sharing of Figures' success. The purpose of this bonus is to associate employees collectively with the results and/or performance of the company.
👉🏼 The bonus potential is €3,000.
- Above-market benefits & perks.
We’ve been Flexified, so you can trust that we’re a truly flexible workplace. More details here!
- Generous time off policy. 25 days of annual paid time off + 1 extra day off every fortnight (we apply a “9-day fortnight” schedule: we get Wednesday or Friday off every other week - learn more about it here!).
- Remote-first company (in Europe) with regular opportunities to meet. 3 offsites per year, remote trips with some of your colleagues, dedicated coworking / “visit the Paris HQ” budget. Everything you need to know about it is documented here!
- Premium Health Insurance & Pension. Each country has its specificities.
- €5 Daily Meal Vouchers. It’s a very French thing, everyone will enjoy this benefit!
- Commuting expenses. For people based in Paris: 100% taken care of by Figures.
- Sustainable mobility allowance. For people based in Paris: €35 per month if you use one of the eligible transportation to commute to the office.
- Sports subscription/allowance. Sport is pretty much anchored in Figures’ values, so we made it part of our perks: 40€ / month, or Gymlib subscription in France.
- Access to moka.care to help you take care of your mental health.
- Chronic illness leave: to support those who may suffer from chronic illness (such as endometriosis, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, etc.), we give them the flexibility to have an additional monthly leave to be used at their discretion.
- Maternity & parental leave: our basis is the French market minimum, but if you’re in a country with better ones, we’ll align your perks on it, hoping that someday we’ll all be aligned to German standards. 🙌 On top of that:
👉🏼 1-month parental leave for the second parent paid at 100% of the salary.
👉🏼 1-month worked part-time (50%) but paid at 100% when returning from maternity leave.
