What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Leadership is tone deaf to the concerns of employees. There is a huge deficit of human compassion in leadership; it's about the bottom line. A culture of tech bro idealism without inclusion is perpetuated by leadership.
Leadership is trying to blend what's best about Microsoft culture and GitHub culture together - and those values conflict. You can't operate with a resource-strapped, fail-fast startup mentality while also insisting on data-driven decision making. Reliable metrics take time.
Addressing issues and themes in various Slack channels. Not letting things get negative.
Review from HR Dept
Working together, communicating openly, and hiring experienced leaders.

What is the best part about your compensation package?
Good benefits, perks, and stocks
Stocks, office equipment, Learning and Development support are only some of the benefits you get there. SWAG is also part of the compensation.
The stock options, 401k matching, unlimited PTO (which we're encouraged to take) and medical insurance
salary, home office reimbursement, and benefits for myself and family
The salary is competitive and above market

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I'm a woman, that's the first problem. I have many famous male pseudonyms in this IT industry. In addition, my work as a programmer in the IT FinTech world has been demonstrably destroyed and manipulated for more than 20 years, my ID & work is stolen without remorse or shame and people even wish me
I feel very valued in my job.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Leadership feels very immature; they don't seem to understand the frustration of teams especially when a higher level steps in with little to no accountability or follow up.
Take control of spend and get rid of the fluff. Too many folks coast (rest and vest). Wouldn't say incompetence, but unqualified employees in some roles
