Review from Design Dept

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

Role and project opportunities, pay transparency, pay equity, performance reviews, job-specific training, job-specific tools, role responsibilities, and engagement surveys that show results on the experience that different demographics have at Carbon can be improved.

Review from Operations Dept

Poor leadership, to limited resources, no direction

Review from Operations Dept

Forecast decrease, need better performance on sales, need better customer engagement for volumes (automation, factory-designed printer, product/segment oriented application, rolling new product roadmap and not just sticking with what we have)

Review from Operations Dept

See all the previous answers

Review from Engineering Dept

The company vision changes too often, and the scope of the company's aspirations has only broaden rather than narrowed. Carbon is spread too thin in many areas and applies resources equally to work that doesn't produce the targeted outcomes.

Review from Operations Dept

The company does not have direction. Most people do what they need to get the job done, but not much more as the company is in a holding pattern. Employees don't have the why of putting in discretionary effort. Advancement opportunities are essentially none.

Middle and senior management needs to be filtered and people who better fit the aspirations of the company culture

Review from Engineering Dept

I hate having open seating. It's impossible to get individual work done. I stay home when I need to actually work. Also, program managers for projects, instead of facilitating progress, take over the project and add to the work by making a million meetings and over communicating with leaders.

Review from Engineering Dept

Too little personnel for the amount of work everyone's tasked to do.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Have a better team of people that are nice to each other. Snoody fakers should go away.

Review from Engineering Dept

Carbon needs to slow down to go faster. It does a shoddy job of new product introduction and everyday business activities, instead choosing to focus too much energy on constantly revising product designs which creates huge material and transpo. costs and ultimately an inferior customer experience.

Review from Operations Dept

I really enjoy my coworkers and my immediate team, but there are other parts of the company that I don't think show that they truly value DEI. I also have a healthy work life balance and work is definitely not my whole life. :)

Review from Operations Dept

Setting more realistic expectations around goals. Continuing to improve visibility of goals/success metrics. Seems to be a pattern of setting extreme reach goals despite knowing they're extreme and that the company will likely fall short.

Review from Operations Dept

There are an incredible number of initiatives, and we're trying to do too much in too short of a time, and it splits our attention so that we can't do our best on the most important campaigns.

Review from Marketing Dept

Leadership is detached from the reality of our products' competitiveness, and as a result, are very slow to realize and respond to issues.

Review from Marketing Dept

I am stretched incredibly thin, so overall progress feels slow and compromises have to be made. I would like to focus on less projects. Less projects will let me do a better job.

Review from Engineering Dept

The technical teams need to redefine what "good work" means, as quantity over quality still reign supreme. We need more accountability for earlier dev teams to spread ownership of issues across the teams. We need to be more clear on what we are NOT doing, as we are overwhelmed with limited resources

Review from Engineering Dept

Need better define goals, specific work projects, and a stronger reason to align with the vision/mission

Review from Customer Support Dept

What do you like best about your company?

Informal approach, innovation, teamwork, weekly updates

The people. So many interesting and bright people.

Review from HR Dept

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Change its vision from R&D to business. This a company, start acting like one
