    Realistic workloads and adequate training, better timelines for advancement and true investment in growth.
  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    The pace and lack of prioritization is overwhelming. Reckless hiring and firing. Most senior hires last 4-6 months. They get worked into the ground and are left with no training or direction from leadership. There’s just no time for that when most are triple booked and working late night
  • What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
    Some coworkers are overly competitive, leading to a negative atmosphere
