Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Open Door Policy! It makes them feel like real people and less intimating. And they all really abide but this policy.
They are kind to employees
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Reduce bureaucracy, focus on retaining high-performers, be honest with employees about the poor performance in marketplace, make HR lean, focus on innovation and speeding products to market, establish an honest ethical work environment.
Defining feasible goals in a feasible timeline or else the employees have to overwork to meet the insane deadlines.
co-locate work and the best party to execute the work. Get rid of incompetent managers

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I feel undervalued simply because my compensation at iRobot reached the "cap" of my title, then I quit, then my compensation got doubled in another company in the same area.
My manager and director's limited skillset really surprised me.
Being undervalued is an understatement! They treat you like robots not considering that human beings have a life, family, etc.
Pay is low. NO equity. They "really" appreciated my team's good work for a year and gave every person $250 gift card. lol.
What are some of the best things about your team?
HR spend days and nights to post fake positive reviews on glassdoor so it's always a 4+ star company
There is camaraderie among the teammates and it's what keep us going.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Less jokes. Spend the time to do work.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
On Fridays they give free bagels!
Better mood = better performance! I love the company I work for and the people I've met through being here. It's never boring and it's always challenging. And I'm constantly inspired by the people I work with.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Cut off work avoidance thinking and face the hard cold truth so there is a chance to improve. Sugarcoating problems and improving non-essential aspects of the work experience don't help.
recruit less people from defense background
What did you like most about the interview process?
a very broad range of questions
They worked with me and my schedule. I felt prepared going into it too.
The take home project assignment
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Don't lie by giving higher base and lower bonus. Once your employee figure out, one will and can get everything back one way another.
What makes you most happy at work?
working with good engineers and seeing a very diverse population.
Being my authentic and true self. Being able to work on things that actually bring me enjoyment and feel like I'm providing value.
develop a product everyone knows
Being recognized for good work
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Now in 2022 the company has lost all its first-mover advantage. The only valuable thing left is customer data and brand value. Some more old white dudes from traditional companies are hired to lead the team and they only bring toxic cultures - Glassdoor has a detailed review about this.
this company will just be another Bose. It will keep losing its competitive advantage. Nothing can save it from happening.
