What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The leadership at Ceres needs to get better at actually engaging with staff and not only talking to top-level managers. They need to be able to take constructive feedback better without taking it personally.
Data-driven decision-making and meaningful delegation of authority wherever possible.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Compensation should be higher and more in line with peer organizations. Health insurance benefits are touted as "excellent" but are expensive and do not cover routine doctors' visits outside a single physical a year. Time off could be better with the pay being so low.
Ceres rewards hard workers with more work but no additional compensation. Staff across the organization are often tasked with work outside of their responsibillites
Entry level pay may be competitive with other non-profits but that's not a high bar.
Junior staff are underpaid compared to other comparable NGOs.
Review from Product Dept
Salary is low compared to other environmental organization. Increase in compensation, pathway to promotion is created, equity in team reorganization/mid-year promotion, and transparency on pay increase/promotion decisions.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The company is growing at an unsustainable rate and employees are not feeling supported by the organization at large. Leadership and decision making bodies have become unclear and creates confusion when decisions need to be made.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Rapid growth of the organization has outstripped the current management capacity/style.
Our leadership cannot make decisions. They foolishly added a bureaucratic layer of VPs thinking that would help. Instead, it created another layer of management with no clear mandate. Then, they consolidated teams under a COO that many staff don't enjoy working with.
