What are some of the best things about your team?

Kind people, sympathetic and tolerant. Smart.

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

Work-life balance is very good. Sticks with DEI in spite of public sentiment.

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

The part of the company I am in (Health) is extremely CAPEX- and finance-driven. Budget cycles, not market trends or customer needs, dictate planning cadence and effectively result in waterfall-like development. Prioritization is based on anecdotes from sellers and executive opinion, not hard data.
