    ELT really seems to care about employees, they just don't seem to know what really happens in the trenches.

Constructive Feedback From Bazaarvoice Employees

  • What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
    They have online meetings but they are not helpful to anyone.
  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    Identifying someone who is a good leader rather than just good at their job. Too many people get promoted who just maybe get a raise. Terrible micromanagers in the Finance organization.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    The pay is in fair for the work I do. I know other companies pay more fairly and the only reason I havent left is because I have loyalty towards my team and I need the job.
