Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

It was awesome at first but has slowly been getting worse and worse.

What makes you most happy at work?

Working closely with a few key individuals.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Innovation and inspiring and aligning the company.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

The flexibility in work location/remote is very nice.

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

A lot of people still care about the company and how employees feel.

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

The technology is dated and it is too difficult to get new features out the door.

What did you like most about the interview process?

Well structured and the interviewers were nice. The questions also seemed practical and not deep into puzzles or theory.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

We need to focus on paying down technical debt so we can have a platform we can innovate on faster.

What did you like most about the interview process?

It was very well organized and you could tell they cared a lot about how they appeared and about attracting the best people.

What are some of the best things about your team?

There are still a lot of smart people here and some that really do care about others but a lot have checked out or are on a power trip and not trying to evolve the culture but just maintain the status quo.

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

I think salaries are low. We are not allowed to talk about salaries either. You are made to work long hours as well and vacation is discouraged. All this so the CEO can build a multi-billion dollar company yet stock grants are miniscule.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Reward people that are working very hard or if their hard work isn't bring value to the company, let them know so they don't waste their time. Encourage timeoff, especially among leaders so people can step up and be noticed. Institute bi-directional (360) reviews.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

The company needs more focus. Also needs to get rid of the layer of middle managers that have accumulated that bring little value but think they are doing great work simply because they are trying to get us to do more work but with no rewards... mostly only interested in they themselves moving up.
