Review from Marketing Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Less micro management that holds up up rather than helps

Review from Sales Dept

Company culture is good overall. We do tend to be somewhat awed by our own great culture that we fail to recognize when or if team members are struggling, especially if they are struggling with their manager (or their manager's behaviour)

Review from Sales Dept

Use the new technologies and new environment for Production setup.

Review from IT Dept

The culture is excellent. People from all walks of life are represented and valued. Employee resource groups create a sense of belonging for different people. The culture is very supportive and generous.

Review from Marketing Dept

Better interactivity among coworkers, and benefits

Review from Marketing Dept

Regularly get the managers response about his team and reduce the unrequired stress in the teams/employees

Review from IT Dept

Hire more cultural fit people with similar synergy. Proper pay band and roles and responsibilities should be defined for each designation. Developer should be given time to breathe and some burden of work reduction is required. Most time goes in documenting for manual processes or spoon feeding.

Review from Engineering Dept

I've had little experience of the much celebrated company culture. It carries a very North American bias which doesn't resonate well with me.

Review from Sales Dept

More transparency and inclusion on forward outlook of what we are developing and why and how it was researched to determine the value and TAM

Review from Sales Dept

More delegation and better communication from the top. Too many "Private" meetings where decisions are made without input or clear communication. Revenue Edge needs major organizational realignment. Too many cooks with stove pipe focus

Review from Engineering Dept

Extend the collaboration and consideration of achievements and success outside the US

Review from Sales Dept

Bureaucratic, manager centralized, they don't care engineers, they think engineers are replace-able mostly.

Review from Product Dept

more training for leaders about leadership or training for development. more resources so we can have job rotations and backups so we can have more secure processes.
