It's an engineering mill. It makes terrible software and is failing to support it's employees or the people who use it.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

There is no solid roadmap or engineering. So things are always a rush and there isn't time to make things correctly.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

It's fine if the nights, weekends and missed vacations aren't figured in. If you average across overtime, the pay is just meh.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

They need to learn to scale and attract talent. Currently the engineering talent is abysmal. Anyone who is good enough to work somewhere else is looking to leave.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

There are a lot of great people. But the focus is on making terrible things fast instead of making something to be proud of.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

It's a top down, burnout culture. Many hours and very little technical or career growth. There is no visibility or leadership. Rather it's making things very fast and then spending nights trying to manually fix people stuck trying to get their benefits from many states. It's terribly demoralizing.
