What did you like most about the interview process?

It was a straight forward interview. Nothing majorly in depth other than getting to know you and ask a but about experience examples. Overall positive.

What makes you most happy at work?

I have learned a lot on my own and through mentorship. For that I am grateful for. I do appreciate being a subject matter expect and it feels good to know how to approach a problem or when it's time to collaborate with others.

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

Scope of duties line is often blurred. Some are overworked while majority are easy coasting. Meanwhile we make same or the lazy ones make more! Company talks of change but never takes actions to improve situations. "We'll take that away" is often the only response. Underwhelming.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leaders are generally well educated and spoken. Middle management often works hard in the trenches with the rest of us. The problem is there is still major disconnect and lack of development training for the teams other than take this online module. Need more actionable training within teams.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

A few strong employees get volunteered to train coworkers. Problem is they are not seen as a manager so the result is training individuals who don't care to change. Repeated process and results never improve. Managers should reset expectations or give "peer" trainers more authority or all burn out.

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

The best part is if you are part of the clique. Lots of networking potential, special treatments, additional resources/programs that you can get involved with. Bonus and 401k are helpful but not amazing. They still expect you to be super apprecitive of the little you get- but worked so hard for.
