The people are great, the work is great, the organization/focus/priorities of people and work is subpar.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

People are great, work is great, but priority of work changes too often to truly feel ownership. We tend to be more reactive than proactive and lack focus on what is priority, because everything is

What are some of the best things about your team?

The intelligence is off the chart. Never have I ever worked with such talented people.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

They take care of you, especially in personal struggle times. Work life balance is constant evaluated.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

product, engineering, and ux need to work better together and not think of each other in their own camps

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Focus, focus, focus. We do not have enough resources to complete the work that is being asked. We also aren't being given enough time to both build a feature, but also build it in a scalable and sustainable way.

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

Stronger alignment from top to bottom. Teams aren't supported as much as they should be based on what they are being asked to do. e.g. not enough resources, not enough focus, changes in focus, dictated solutions and not problems, etc. It's tough to actually deliver customer value in that environment

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Operate more like a SaaS company and learn from others in the industry. We aren't the first that need to have a crisp vision, set objectives, priorities, and get out rapid delivery over time. But it seems like every year we are reinventing ourselves and struggle to keep focus over time.
