inconsequential. frustrating. mundane. sad. still sad.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
A comfortable continuous fall-back residency in mediocrity.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Overall, we are valued accordingly with our roles. Working at this company is not celebration, nor worth remembrance, even if it has been your life. The company is a tool beaten by employees, not a family strengthened, set up to endure. It is mostly bitter and less sweet. But, we make the best of it
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Overall experience: soul-crushing. In moments we are able to open up and tackle challenges with minimal restriction, but this is a publicly traded company - our core values are frugalness and low risk. Our products do not inspire or lead or attempt to do so. We have to find meaning only day by day

Flexible time off, periodic employee events organized by the HR & GA teams, genuine desire to keep high quality (although sometimes stifled due to expense)

The company is treated like a cash tree. It should be treated and cared for (maintained) like an expensive high-output machine that we're proud of.

make less assumptions be realistic in their reasoning see the bigger pictures have more drive to develop themselves promote a higher level of technical skill.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Their capabilities are well beyond the company demands. Their backgrounds have afforded them stories that are entertaining, awe-inspiring and generally things that the company itself could not provide on its own.
What makes you most happy at work?
developing personal skills exploring ideas having breakfast at the cafeteria challenging myself with difficult people making progress toward making more money for the company and in turn for myself.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
imagination, ownership, driven-ness, for-the-good-of-the-company mentality, interest in efficiency and quality. How to work better together -develop employee's knowledge of best practices beyond what's required & allow access to tools for the development of better systems (software & hardware)
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
We are far overpaid for our duties. It's like a back-handed compliment every pay period. Money appearing in the account sarcastically says, "thanks for all of your hard work!". Valuing us better may look more like relaxing internal processes - more control, more risk, more flex to follow up change
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Our products are the type that are better left unseen, unheard, and untouched for many customers. Most of our customers don't love OUR product. They either love the idea that it is a Japanese company so they give their trust or they're sick of the competition. Low cost companies have the opportunity
