    Not as per market norms
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    I got higher position without being fairly paid. Experienced people do not earn as much as people that came from outside. It seems it's normal nowadays, to change job every 2 years to be paid fairly.
  • What would you improve about your company's interview process?
    Maybe actually do an interview and ascertain what skillsets and abilities a person can actually bring and utilize that as an asset. I went and initialed boxes regarding pages i read in a binder about the job.
