What makes you most happy at work?Flexibilty to work from home
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?It's getting more diverse and people Can be themselves
What are some of the best things about your team?They are professional and friendly and hard working
What does the leadership team need to get better at?Everything from properly scoping tasks to recognizing employee ability and assigning resources effectively. The whole middle management layer is filled with poor managers.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?The pay is barely scraping average, you could get what I'm paid anywhere in Ottawa with ease. If the work environment wasn't so hostile the pay would be tolerable, but this job is clearly not worth what is being provided. Insurance is also mediocre and other benefits useless or obtuse to opt into.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?My immediate team is fine, but people not on my immediate team are often detached and have unrealistic goals and expectations. I don't really know how to improve any of this aside from simply having better management.
