What did you like most about the interview process?

Structured, thorough but not to long, creative.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Baselining at inflation rate. Bonus and/or equity should be standard part of package.

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

New people bring new ideas and new fire. Just gotta make sure middle management doesn't silence them. Things are changing.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Allied, proactive, direct, candid, fun, good people - we are actually friends for the most part. Hang out after work. Have each others personal cells. Know each others family in some cases.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Executice level is aware, engaged, pushing forward. They need and actively seek help to ensure future of company. Great vision. But middle management (feeling threaten by new smart people) is the primary blocker - should be dissolved mostly - lots of dead weight and meetings for meetings people.
