Sandbox VR Compensation & Benefits
Frequently Asked Questions
Sandbox VR ensures pay and bonus plans are competitive by benchmarking salaries against industry data sources such as Mercer and Aon, conducting regular compensation reviews, and combining market data with performance evaluations to guide increases and bonus outcomes. We also offer generous equity packages as part of total compensation, aligning employees with the long-term success of the business and ensuring our offerings remain competitive across both entertainment and technology sectors.
As a valued member of our team, we provide an array of perks designed to enhance both your personal and professional life, because we believe that prioritizing the well-being of our employees not only fosters a thriving workplace but also fuels the success of our company as a whole. We provide:
- Retirement Savings Plans
- Significant Equity Grants
- Robust Medical Benefits
- Flexible Personal Time Off
- Remote & Hybrid Work
- Training & Development
At Sandbox VR, every exempt employee receives a generous equity grant package, because we believe in building ownership across the team. As a Series B company that has consistently met its annual goals and is scaling rapidly, we see equity not just as a perk but as a long-term opportunity to share in the upside of what we’re building together. With $37 million raised in our latest round led by Andreessen Horowitz and a track record of revenue growth reaching $93.1 million in 2023, each grant gives you a stake in our success. As we open new locations, push new content, and expand globally, your equity can grow alongside the company’s value and impact.
Another important aspect of compensation and benefits at Sandbox VR is the focus on providing a well-rounded total rewards package that supports both professional and personal needs. In addition to salary, bonuses, and equity, employees benefit from offerings that prioritize flexibility, work-life balance, and overall well-being, helping them stay engaged and supported as they contribute to a fast-growing, global business. Compensation is also designed to scale with the company and the individual. As employees take on greater responsibility and expand their impact, their total rewards evolve alongside their role. This creates an environment where contributions are recognized over time, and where employees can see a clear connection between their growth, their impact, and their overall compensation.
