What do you like best about the leadership team?
Team is good to an extent

Review from Design Dept
Their strategies revolve more around getting themselves promoted than around companie's benefits. They mostly have no clue of what teams under them are actually doing.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
There should be more compassion and care shown towards low ranking employees

Promote and nurture the people who do good work. Don’t just promote your other white friend
