What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The individual contributors are incredibly smart and talented

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Fully paid insurance and guarunteed raises thanks to the union

What are some of the best things about your team?

Collaborative and kind, the day to day staff make the role worth it. Everyone below the exec/director level is a joy to work with.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

They need to learn this space and stop treating everything as urgent. In an election year, you should not have 5-6 high priority initiatives with the belief "AI will do it". As the adage goes, jack of all trades, master of none.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Stop expanding until you have a cohesive strategy. Invest in the people who know the space. When everyone is burnt out, that's a huge organizational issue, not an issue with an individual and our CEO's response needs to stop being "they can leave".
