What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Developing talent and providing opportunities
Firm has grown - you need to adjust leadership structure to accomodate size. Hire middle management that actually cares about people. Culture carries are leaving and being replaced by not the same caliber.
Less shallow and less boastful. Need more depth.
I'd like more visibility and transparency from the leadership team
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Never compensated for taking on more responsibility. HR does not compare comp to appropriate third parties.
Paying higher on the scale relative to market comparison
Bigger salaries. Less birocratic procedures
Ive read what others get and theres no comparson. If youre not liked. Theres no hope.
Below marker range and overworked
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Review from IT Dept
Team spirit is missing. Rather than telling tales to the manager.
Relax and take a breath. Also hire more high quality
I dont feel as if they do their part, and rely on my to do not only my job, but in some cases theirs as well. I also believe alot of people take shortcuts that lead to bad design and it causes many delays and issues soon afterward that affect my team.
Review from Engineering Dept
Better culture, more inclusivity and connection
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
A bit of appreciation for the work we do. When a new manager starts itd be nice for them to get to know what we do. Show an interest. Instead of just looking out for themselves.
Hire more diverse people with education
There needs to be a better defined company culture
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Background check. That is terrible experience. I was close to change my mind and not accept offer because background check. Before this one, I have 2 back checks and both gone smoothly.
When asked to do an interview, itd be nice to be able to talk. Not sit there like a spare part, while the manager talks .
Ask real finance questions and test
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Too many new clients being taken on and not enough workers. Staff leaving and not being replaced. More pressure on staff left.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Compensation needs to be revamped to be competitive to peer companies.
