What do you like best about the leadership team?
They have worked through the transition/separation from GE in a good way for the employees.
Review from Sales Dept
Depends on product line; OFS dictatorial & bureaucratic, the rest are diplomatic and open
Review from Sales Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communication - particularly, translating high-level spiel into operational language and giving clear guidance on how we can participate. We're constantly encouraged to collaborate but in practice you can't get involved in a project unless you know someone who knows someone...
Review from Sales Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
We have unlimited vacation, you just need manager approval. I love this. I am also fairly paid and we have good benefits.
Review from Sales Dept
fair compensation, again depends on the product line
Review from Sales Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Being paid on par with my peers would be a good start. Also, our bonuses have so many riders that we have no realistic chance of ever getting them regardless of how well the company does.

Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?

What did you like most about the interview process?
Most of my interviews internally have been more of a discussion than being grilled.
Review from Sales Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
It takes forever to go from first interview to being hired, at best 3 months, at worst 6. Too many tollgates and handoffs.
Review from Sales Dept
It's way too subjective, and based on a strange criterion - whether the rest of the team "likes" the applicant. This pretty much ensures that new perspectives never come in at all. Very dangerous.
Review from Sales Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
I know that I’ll have work to do and when
Review from Sales Dept
