What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Listening and using common sense. They have literally a 0 exceptions policy apparently. everything is black and white only.
Not just giving customers lip service.
Everything was too short of a response so I had to add this extra text.
Listening to employees and customers. Knowing what the truth is in the marketplace and not theorizing on a white board. Incredible disconnect with the real world.
Understanding how our company actually makes money and develops new products and technologies!
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
bonus and profit sharing quarterly
Review from Operations Dept
I need to be better compensated to deal with C suite shenanigans
The benefits are average as we were told by a senior vice president. The pay itself isn't terrible but it doesn't make up for the dehumanization and terrible decision making being made.
I feel undervalued because my manager never really had a plan for me. I wanted to discuss goals with him but he never set any expectations for me because he never had a plan for me to begin with.
Comparative companies offer more compensation
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
self motivation and proper performance
Review from Operations Dept
Fri secure in the job, not afraid of being laid off every day.
Learn more and express ideas
Get better leadership....and more help
Focus on big picture and get the critical things done vs focusing on task that don't matter
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
restrictions on mandatory overtime. i've worked 200 overtime hours since the calendar year and it's only March.
New executive team with more competence
Change upper level people and team
More innovation less cancelled projects
Hold all employees to the same standard. More management involvement, team meetings would be beneficial on a ground level. Be quick to respond to employee concerns and reinforce the company policies.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Need interviewer who knows technology and application.
Be transparent open and honest verbally and in writing
The part in which they asked me to solve the Rubik's cube underwater was not very normal to me, but I guess it's a way to examine my problem solving - I wasn't able to complete the cube and needed to be medically attended for aspiration
What interview process, they just bring more of same
Lack of structure in the process
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The management is the worst. They don't know good workers from bad. they don't understand how to run a business. all they see is numbers and everyone is expendable.
Quality products but overly expensive. Sometimes less quality but affordability works best.
Improve quality and reduce prices
Executive leadership takes a beat down approach, are clearly only in their roles to enrich themselves and jump ship before it fails. Clean house and promote from within to people who have a vested interest in the long-term future of the company, opposed to the next earnings call.
You have to invest to grow, not cut and divide.
