This was a place where the future and growth felt limitless - until we had lay offs. Now things are much worse and trust in setting realistic sales or revenue targets are in serious doubt. Making a lot of money, but "not enough" as a company to retain people is terrible.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Certain portions are great like work from home and meaningful work that helps students and teachers. Other portions less so, like unstructured meetings, people not understanding their roles, and a few poor managers that are micro-managers. Lack of focus on outputs and instead focus on inputs.
What makes you most happy at work?
Solving problems in collaboration with others.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
CEO communicates what is important - students vs shareholders.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Opportunities to be heard. People are largely honest.
What makes you most happy at work?
Being able to solve problems and apply my knowledge.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Variety of backgrounds and points of view. Willing to work hard when problems arise.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Define "leadership team" in the future (Board of Dirs., VPs? etc.) CEO speaks truthfully and largely put the mission ahead of short term monetary gains.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
CEO believes in mission. Have a strong sense of what needs to be done without being dictated how to get it done. Love that freedom.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Work from home policy. Allows us to work with people all over the country. Allows us the work-life balance denied at other places I have been in the past.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Higher salary. Being paid for the benefits not taken (IE, I save CA thousands by not using their health insurance - other companies would split that with me). Geography factors into salary goes again basic "equal work for equal pay" from civil rights movement. Even worse for non-US employees.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
At least stay on par with inflation for raises. Difference in salary pay increase between "achieving at high standard" and "excelling" is .5%, that is not laughable but sad and not an incentive, at all. Compare those in engineering's roles to tech industry as a whole, not just Ed Tech.
