They need to stop thinking that collaboration can happen without meetings.
Too many sloppy colleagues not performing up to par and you ended up doing other peoples work a lot of time. Too many people are rest and vest here. Not a place for young people who are looking for growth

Try to be more open about new ideas and not under estimate new comers and help juniors come up - instead of discouraging them

get rid of the "do as I say not as I do" culture
What did you like most about the interview process?
Very honest feedback from interviewers and you can feel that they like what they do

Review from Sales Dept
to be interviewd by a panel and to have a role play
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Be friendly and respectful to candidates
Where to start? The recruiters are good. Once you get to a hiring manager, prepare for another 3 interviews. If youre lucky you will get notified. Sometimes the recruiters and hiring managers dont even write you back. They're "too busy" Thats a bad manager.
Too many interviews to hire for a position that in not considered senior leadership
Process was purely based on individual hiring manager style
focus on creative capabilities instead of mainstream utterly conventional education
What makes you most happy at work?
The org as a whole (before the Plangrid purchase) was amazing. All teams working together for a common vision.
I liked my manager and engineering team leads.

its great and impactful without the hustle
Interacting with my colleagues, customers and partners
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Leadership is reactionary and not mature enough to have follow through. They don't understand how to effectively deal with the new way of working due to pandemic related changes. They are contributing to burnout instead of addressing it.
HR need to really listen to why people leave. HR need a better contingent worker practice.
wrong: relying upon erstwhile solutions; opening up to strategically relevant benefits for the future (strategic reconnaissance)
Claiming to be a customer company and then laying off most of the people that directly work with the customers. Listen to the needs of the customers. Stop laying off good workers.
