What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The dedication to work remote during COVID.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Diversity Equity, Communication, Employee Satisfaction, Pay Equity, Investing in Retention

What are some of the best things about your team?

Committed to the students and the impacts of internal change management on the students.

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

They pay on a scale based on location versus experience and the roles are evaluated based on "job profile" which is set by HR versus your title and job responsibility. There is no system to ask for a raise and there is no system to review employee performance.

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

It's a bro club. If you're not friends with the right people, you will not have the opportunity to move your career forward. Managers are exceedingly junior and have no change management strategy. I have to remind my managers what I work on every single day to get credit or recognition of my value.
