  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    Raise salary to market rate - not only eng but also non-tech roles. Some actual equity and benefits beyond relying on 'the great culture' which is better than a corporate but honestly nothing special in the tech space
  • What would you improve about your company's interview process?
    Too many rounds of interviews
  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    Affirm employees and work on retaining talents instead of using students as cheap labour
