What makes you most happy at work?

Shipping excellent products, teamwork, user research

What are some of the best things about your team?

Smart people who are dedicated

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Diversity and equal pay and opportunity for women and minorities. Salary transparency.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Stop paying lip service to diversity and inclusion and actually make change instead of defending failure to be equitable

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

8 years and never promoted. Slotted on a career ladder with less pay and opportunity than my less experienced colleagues.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Cultural fit is too highly valued given the current company culture. There used to be a value placed on unique individuals more than 7 years ago, but paying referral bonuses has led to a monoculture that is not distinguishable from any other "young white privileged momey-motivated male" tech company
