What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Treat people with respecf & integrity.

Review from Sales Dept

Listening, demonstrate sincere appreciation for people who are dedicating way too much time to the organization; connect with all levels . . . stop managing from afar. Get their hands dirty!

Review from Sales Dept

Quit "appointing" your favorites to promotions/jobs without posting the job and looking at other candidates. The same few "golden children" of the ELT continue to monopolize the best promotions and positions, usually without any experience (the ELT promotes people to leadership without people exp).

Review from Sales Dept

It's important that the leadership team take a pause to understand the impact that years of frequent change, leadership attrition, and pivoting priorities have had across GRAILers, especially those that have devoted years to working for this mission. Sometimes, it's too "full speed ahead".

Aligning our goals with resources

Review from Sales Dept

I work 12 hrs a day and produce a high volume for the company but the attainment goals dont reflecf mt efforts nor am I getting paid what I should.

Review from Sales Dept

Based on recent hiring experiences, our salary/bonus/401K match compensation is far below what is currently being offered in the industry. Attracting new talent to 3 open positions on my team took nearly half a year. For 2/3 of those positions, my top choice candidate declined their offer.

Review from Operations Dept

I think for our particular division we don't compete within our industry. I took a significant pay cut to join Grail, previous jun subordinates in my prior team have gone on to local businesses and now earn significantly more than I do. I was willing to compromise because of passion for the mission.

Review from HR Dept

Compensation must be based upon industry averages - very much below benchmarks (confirmed); goals no aligned with life of company

Review from HR Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Personnel changes at the top (ELT); some senior leaders who are very competent, yet not in the right positions and are very negative, bullying and discriminating. Excruciating every day for the entire team.

Review from Sales Dept

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

No "gotcha" questions or cliched "tell me about a failure" questions. It was a give and take conversation. They had questions they needed answered to determine if I was a fit for the company but they also spent time answering mine. The process was also very prompt. I had an offer in about a week.

Review from HR Dept

passionate people, intelligent interviewers and great questions. Informal and friendly

Very organized and complicated questions were asked about the position

I was able to meet with different members of the team and gain great insight.
