“Since using Payscale MarketPay, I feel like I went from owning a Prius to a Porsche. It’s amazing how quick the system is - the power of what Payscale does for us is significant. The comp work we used to do in Excel would take us 2 to 3 weeks to prepare for one business unit, and now we get the same work done for all 12 business units in 2 weeks. The productivity is absolutely significant.”
