I love my job and the team I am on. The company offers great tools to do your job - you will always have the latest software updates, at least in my area.
What did you like most about the interview process?
A lot of interesting, well thought out questions.
What makes you most happy at work?
Being productive and getting things done. My manager lets us get our work done without micromanaging.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The environment on my team is positive but other areas are run by managers with authoritarian leadership that causes competent workers to leave the company. The company has been a lot better with this in the past couple years by getting rid of authoritarian managers who impeded progress.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They talk a good talk and I feel they are sincere. However, they don't always walk their talk which is disappointing. For example, the company is hierarchal and you have to watch management make mistakes when you know they are going down the wrong path because troubleshooting is unwelcome.
What are some of the best things about your team?
No one takes notes or sends meeting minutes or documents who's committed to doing what. There is zero follow up and subsequent meetings rehash was already discussed and decided. The project management at the company is a joke. Projects move at a snail's pace because there's no project organization.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
My job used to be performed by three people. I streamlined and made a lot of improvements but was never even acknowledged for it , much less compensated for it. Also, they tend to promote brown nosers, which may not be unique to this company but still unmotivating and discouraging.
