When they're portraying the business, the don't use fancy words that mean nothing, but they're using data and actual sentences that mean something.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Evaluating fair salary. Being continually told that the company is doing extremely well and breaking financial targets is frustrating when it goes along with messages that pay will continue to be below average, and that skilled people leaving is somehow good.

You can look at what individual managers are doing, I have a manager who has lied multiple times and has double standards
Review from Product Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The ESPP and LTI programs. I believe the best way to feel as a part of the company is to own a part of it.
Review from Product Dept
The Long term incentive plan

Review from Product Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Salary packages here fall 20-30% below average for this sector. This is backed up by every available salary index, and also anecdotally when comparing with peers working elsewhere. There's no way to make this better other than to address it. Even 5% below average would be acceptable.
Review from Product Dept
Get paid as per the market pay for my role and years of experience.
Review from Product Dept
LTI (long term incentive), fair pay in Canada - similar to the pay in USA.

Review from Product Dept
I DISLIKE MY TOXIC MANAGER
Review from Product Dept
The company is extremely US-centric which doesn't always work well for folks in other regions/time zones. Management does not want to share management roles with senior employees, so we are losing experienced people after 1-2 years. In some areas, people are reluctant to let go of outdates practices
Review from Product Dept
While I love what I do, I have so much work and it only seems to increase. I often feel a sense of dread in starting the day that I still won't have a day where I leave feeling like I accomplished something.
