Packaged as a growing company willing to work at a fast pace (decision making, project implementation), the management team is not skilled in the areas needed for scale and growth and therefore they are unable to make decisions needed. Too much bureaucracy and not enough action.
What are some of the best things about your team?
A lot of smart and skilled people.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Its a good package. Health insurance is good compared to others, time off could be better since employees are required to use their PTO for forced company shutdowns.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
We have no idea how our customers view the company. We don't ask them. And when we do hear feedback, we can't react to it because any changes needed to improve the experience are delayed due to other internal projects.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They need to hire external in progressive areas like IT and Marketing. Hiring from within (people with the company for 20+ years) only perpetuates the massive challenges the company will continue to face. Recognize that only engineering and sales drive the company. Invest in marketing and IT.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The company needs to start living their values: Work Hard, Play Hard, Move Fast. Its one thing to say you live those values, its completely different to actually live them. Hire more so people dont need to work weekends, stop offering off the books PTO when people can't even take their earned PTO
