We can all speak our mind. There is a lot of understanding of different approaches to work and to ideas. It is not very political in the sense of work politics and games played to get ahead.

You guys are smart, figure it out yourself.
Leadership doesn't care about employees.
What did you like most about the interview process?
The people I interviewed with were very welcoming.
Presented exactly what the role needed, clear, assessment allowed me to see whether or not I was also interested in the position.
Review from HR Dept
They gave me an assessment that actually tested my skills. I had confidence in the team I was joining because of the difficulty of the assessment. I knew that it accurately reflected the skills I'd need on the job, and that if my peers passed the same test they would be good at their jobs.
Review from HR Dept
It was a fast and efficient interview process
Review from HR Dept
It was a challenge, an opportunity to show my thinking around a case study, the interviewers were very transparent and happy to answer questions
Review from HR Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
The interview process lacks transparency. It was never communicated that the role would significantly change over time or that additional responsibilities would be added without any adjustment in compensation.
Figure it out yourself. Lol.
Interviewers asked clearly discriminatory questions.
What makes you most happy at work?
My team, they are such good people to work with.
Delivering great products and services with passionate people around me.

Review from HR Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
What’s going wrong is a lack of support, recognition, and investment in people. Responsibilities keep increasing, but training, development, and appreciation don’t follow. Improvement starts with valuing employees, providing growth opportunities, and creating a healthy, respectful work environm
