After being in the private sector for most of my career, the transition to consulting in the public sector has been nice in that the pace and demands are far more reasonable. That said, things can feel slow and frustrating at times.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Questions were not standardized, everything was specific to the job at hand rather than checking HR boxes on a form. Very efficient, quick turnaround on hiring decisions and negotiations.
What makes you most happy at work?
Ability to control my schedule and output, and the open environment that encourages discussions about onstacles to work completion and other resources that are inadequate to accomplish the task at hand.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The relaxed atmosphere and no pressure to rush or force results. The overall environment is comfortable and open, with workers and leadership being able to openly discuss inadequate resources and timing issues.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Leadership is patient and understanding, typically willing to hear and act on constructive feedback. But depth and breadth of knowledge is lacking, and much of the leadership is not particularly experiencing in their subject areas.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Guidance!! The lack of expertise on the part of management leads to disorganization and chaotic approaches to what should be straightforward and simple programs and tasks. Most mean very well and do their best, but wothout effective leadership the workforce can be very ineffective.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Compensation is not on par with other companies. Vacation allowance is horrendous! There is also no bonus program below the director level, and raises are 2% at best for the highest performers. If you want to be paid fairly for your experience, you'll end up having to quit and go work somewhere else
