What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Fire most of them and start fresh
Ever since laurie passed at NASM its been bad
Listening to teams before making big decisions and oromoting from within.
Communication and competency, drop the off/near shore incompetent contractors and focus on current employees. Hold poor performers accountable, deal with apps that should be shelved or redone, communicate. There is a total void of leadership.
They need to work on communication about things outside of our department.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Benefits are too expensive for the lack of coverage provided. Salaries don't make uo for the high benefit cost.
At this point in time pay for most roles can be as much as half what people are paid for similar roles at other companies.
More hours same pay and I felt they were pushing me out the door
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Learn to read, stay engaged, don't be so beholden to a single way or technology.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Get rid of the off/near shore contractors, or use ones that have a clue what they are doing.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Lol get people that actually know the field and the job
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Managers need to take a vested interest in their employees and get to know them.
Invest in the product and do more than just keeping the lights on
Tired of dealing with the lies and incompetence of contractors and honestly, many of the FTEs. Middle management is way too heavy, and too many are not technical at all (for an IT company).
I'm unhappy with my current manager and the way I'm micro-managed. As an adult in a professional position it's extremely difficult to work while being micro-managed.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Company culture and recognition of work done by people outside of the sales team
Communication could be improved between upper-level management in Kansas and satellite companies. It seems that business units compete with one another and it is unclear how decisions are made which unit should pursue a new opportunity. Overlap exists and units don't seem to collaborate.
