What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Best in class benefits. But company besieged with petty politics. No avenues for professional growth. Everything can change but as of now, it is a great place for people requiring visa sponsorship and those who have taken big loans. All ambitious people stay away. There are better places for you.
More opportunities for dialogue between leaders and employees. More diversity and inclusion. People of color are marginalized and ignored. If FRB is a true meritocracy, why aren't there any people of color in senior leadership? Is FRB saying that people of color can't compete?
they need to communicate better and be more transparent
Making it safe for the team members to voice unpopular opinions and concerns.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
majority of roles are based on tenure instead of value you bring
Better split on self sourced business
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
More open engagement and positive feedback communication hut unfortunately the management does not allow for that
Less internal politics. While there are some lovely people who work here, there's a lot of nepotism and double standards. Some people can treat their colleagues any way they want with impunity. It's unacceptable. More equality, please.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Recognition of hard work. Managers & some executives are lazy and incompetent.
Nepotism is a real problem. No career tracks. Diversity and Inclusion is only considered as far as white women. Not a lot of consideration to people of color or LGBTQ. They won't even allow employees to have employee resource groups.
less micromanagement, better communication, keep employees involved in decisions
Less hierarchy and fewer politics.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Manager should take more interest and position candidate properly as per skills he or she processes. It seemed as if I was only hired to fill somebody temporarily going away on leave of absence.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Lack of career growth opportunities despite hard work. Management would rather hire laterally than reward hard work and promote from within.
I find the leadership of the company to be morally bankrupt. It's hard to go in every day working for a company that I don't believe in. They only care about rich, white people. There aren't career tracks because leadership slides their favorites in. Very disheartening.
too much volume, not enough staff. Better hiring practices.
People are rewarded more for obedience and compliance than for making a difference.
