Conservative, 1980s, Dying SW Company...

What are some of the best things about your team?

good group to work with and grow.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Salary. Bonus and stock structure are sub-par.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Fire the executive team, they have no idea how to be a relevant cybersecurity company and execute to that.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

It takes FOREVER to get any type of approval for any recommended hires and salary negotiation...turns out BlackBerry is cheap and would rather argue over $5000 and lose potentially great hires

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Blackberry has no idea the value of certain class of security engineers, for example if you want someone to pick up and learn macOS development for security, you need to pay a pretty penny.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

The company is following apart; people are leaving left and right, esp from the Cylance division BB acquired. For starters they need to quit being cheap and hire people and pay them well so they stay in the long run

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Keeping people, staffing people for the win instead of accepting the status quo, COVID sensitivity (they are one of the only executive teams that cannot wait to get everyone back in offices...really), and social sensitivity (looks bad advertising racial equality when MLK day isn't celebrated)
