They are around and can be seen here and there.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
LT only cares about results, not the process. As the CEO mentioned that he kept looking at the numbers of sales, and he does not seem to care about how and what to improve. Yes, it seems like buying another firm helps, but it is not organic growth and it does not seem obvious where we are headed
Review from Engineering Dept
Fight for more employees and better pay as many of us are doing two jobs
Review from Engineering Dept
Giving raises, and backfilling positions
Review from Engineering Dept
Asking the right questions. People keep leaving, and it always seems to be a surprise. If you aren't checking in with your employees regularly and having honest conversations, it's hard to know how to motivate and reward properly.
Review from Engineering Dept
Treat employees like people instead of numbers on a spreadsheet.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
2 days working from home office...
Review from Engineering Dept
The paycheck is the best
Review from Engineering Dept
Insurance! For sure ... I do appreciate COLA payments sprinkled here and there
Review from Engineering Dept
The bonus at the end of the year
Review from Engineering Dept
Allowing employees to work from home.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Nothing new here. Promises of promotion dangled as a carrot that never really materialize because there's always a reason. If promises are made, they should persist through management changes.
Review from Engineering Dept
The comp is not great and I was trying to negotiate with the HR before they did not seem like they are willing to do so and even the market might be fair but the amount of over time and calls with HQ are not def brought it up during the interviews
Review from Engineering Dept
Our department started with 7 members and has dwindled down to 3 with the workload increasing but the pay staying the same.
Review from Engineering Dept
We need pay incise drastically. With very high infection for over 3 years- Realistically over 8 % every year. Company proposed only 3% pay incise. Realistically I make less then 4 years ago. Can this company propose 24% pay incise to keep up with inflation and 5 % on the top of that?
Review from Engineering Dept
I am essentially doing a whole departments job by myself and half of the work load of a missing employee. We should have replaced that employee right away. At the very least a title change and pay increase should be offered for our loyalty and efforts.
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
we help each other actively whenever needed.

Hard working team members with deep product and system knowledge.
Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Less pointing fingers and more finding common solutions.
Review from Engineering Dept
Some coworkers are great but some are very set to their way and does not take any feedback from new hires or employees. One of them was trying to ask for a pyramid "exclusive investment club" to many coworkers, making them uncomfortable.
Review from Engineering Dept
Accept responsibility for their mistakes and make improvements instead of deflecting.
Review from Engineering Dept
Take ownership of their mistakes instead of trying to blame others.
Review from Engineering Dept
They need to get past the "not my job" mentality. See the bigger picture and contribute instead of only looking out for themselves.

Review from Engineering Dept
softball, happy hours, lunch and learns
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The manager has no power like he or she has work outside of hours for meeting with hq but it used to be more accommodating and take some comp hours if we worked outside of normal business hours, but now it is gone and we are working many hours outside of work and managers do not have any powers
Review from Engineering Dept
There should be more thought into training new hires on teams, rather than learn as you go with every task.
Review from Engineering Dept
The focus on profit and growth is only one measure of success, but it is the primary one we use. When the market goes down and our sales drop, it can feel like we are being blamed for things we cannot control. We need to find other ways to measure success.

Growing my team and watching them progress. It's great to see someone do something they didn't know they could do.
Review from Engineering Dept
Being around team members! So great!
Review from Engineering Dept
Intricating projects that bring me new experience every day.
Review from Engineering Dept
Being able to do my sole responsibilities and not having to deal with problems outside of my job scope daily and my coworkers.
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Management needs to reevalulate their own team's human resource. For example, PMO has too many resources idle and not doing their job yet asks for a timeline to act like they are doing their job but other are doing their job. Some team has too many unnecessary resources
Review from Engineering Dept
It is a 90-10 spilt if it will be a busy stressful day filled with urgent needs from internal and external sources or a slower day to catch up with the chaos from the day before.
Review from Engineering Dept
Let us get more work from home or be flexible with our work hours. Not to mention how cold the office is. If you are not going to turn up the heat at least let us use space heaters.
Review from Engineering Dept
A Change in upper management is probably the only solution.
Review from Engineering Dept
Maybe make more money because we've always made more money is the wrong core concept. We need a clear identity that shows our differentiator in the marketplace, and it needs to be something that matters to our customers.
