Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Base comp is on the low side adn the stock options/equity will never be worth anything.

We were promised a 401k, however after many months we still haven't received information regarding this.

They are loyal and dedicated.
Great technical team. Motivated and high energy.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

The person who singlehandedly decided to rewrite the entire application (without any dire need for that) in the worst combination of language and framework possible was promoted to team lead. That is pretty descriptive of the management and some people in the team who support him.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Great team members coping well given a bad CEO.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The CEO's micromanaging makes the culture toxic. Managers cannot achieve their goals because the CEO is constantly changing the approach
Too many things to mention here. Stop using the shiniest tools and tech, go for sturdy industry standards, we're not building rockets here, start caring about processes and stop ignoring QA. Your velocity gets you nowhere with such an execution.
