What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Leadership needs to become more connected to the realities of day-to-day work and take into consideration all feedback before rolling out programmes that will only hurt compensation, such as taking away LTI from the lowest paid people.
Review from Admin Dept
Compensation, benefits, listening to employee feedback, preserving employee goodwill
Review from Engineering Dept
Communication. And constant reorganization is exhausting. Changes are done and then explained instead of the opposite way so nobody knows what's going on and employees lose trust. Bad organizational change management processes.
Review from Customer Support Dept
The leadership team needs to significantly improve their communication by being more transparent about company decisions and providing regular updates to all employees. They should create better channels for two-way communication where employees feel comfortable sharing their concerns.
Review from Engineering Dept
There are two key issues in GW. First, high performers are not rewarded properly, because GW equalizes pay, so there's no reason to overperform, since mediocrity it rewarded just as much. Second issue, execs talk big but there's hardly ever enough time and/or resources provided to do work well.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
My compensation has effectively decreased over the past few years, and every way I’ve explored for growth has led to a dead end. At the same time, I see others being promoted w
Review from Admin Dept
Accomplishments are only acknowledged in private and do not result in more compensation or career advancement
Review from Engineering Dept
I don't feel undervalued in terms of the work I do or the appreciation I receive, butI do feel my compensation could be. more aligned with my experience, and market value.
Review from HR Dept
The LTIs were removed and the increase that was awarded only equated to 1 years LTI allowance so i will be massively down next year when my remaining LTIs finish vesting. The communication regardobg this from our leadership has been extemely poor

Review from Admin Dept
We're acting like a "big family" but it's highly disfunctional. There are barriers between the teams
Review from IT Dept
We need to function as a team or a bee hive from the start. People are overworked and have too much workload to care about improving.
Review from Operations Dept
we can work fine as a team
Review from Operations Dept
Theres no time for anyone to interact with, lot of Mundane tasks, Leadership is innocent of automating and bringing efficiency. If there is more work, leadership immediately think of increasing capacity rather than how to reduce and bring efficiency.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
overworked, underpaid and undervalued, surrounded by people who just play politics
Review from Admin Dept
Less politics and more freedom as we are adults at the end of the day
Review from IT Dept
GW likes to box people into very specific roles, where it's hard to further improve yourself outside of these very specific tasks. So, even if you are busy, you can be very bored, doing repetitive stuff over and over again.
Review from Engineering Dept
The Executive Office is not on the same wavelength as everyone else.
Review from Operations Dept
Stop telling us how excited you are to announce the latest administrative burden or a slightly worse benefit than was available in prior years. We are not children with short memories. We are professionals who can follow the reasoning behind solid strategy.
