What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Listening and better telework policies and parental leave.
Pay us better. I know JPL can't do stock options - but we can do better at health and retirement benefits.
They treat ppl. without respect. Transparency rarely visible. Too much politics. Not much career advancement opportunities.
Review from Engineering Dept
Pay closer attention to inter-working of the laboratory instead of all the focus on bureaucracy. For the 20 years that I have had the pleasure of working there, I've noticed more red-tapes than less!
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
More of everything. Total comp at JPL is 30-70% lower than market.
Review from Engineering Dept
Need to encourage collaboration and provide incentives for innovation - less unnecessary bureaucracy
Pay is significantly less compared to other tech positions.
Review from Engineering Dept
We need policies which are understanding of the current economic and social conditions.
no raises, losing to inflation
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Many are jaded and hostile
Promoting fairness rather than becoming political employees.
Review from Engineering Dept
Unfortunately, because of the nature of how each project and staff on projects are funded, there is too much and unhealthy competitiveness than necessary!
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
More transparency, better policies, better pay
Review from Engineering Dept
No consideraton of work life ballance
More communications with young employees
Review from Engineering Dept
Reduce unnecessary red-tapes and remove incompetent drill sergeant supervisors who micromanage the competent technical experts to death!
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Enpower the people who want to hire to be able to hire! JPL HR is terrible - you have individuals who work hard, but turnover within the department is high. Job posts get forgotten, crap shoot on who you get as a talent specialist and terrible communication. JPL is amazing. HR and Mgmt need overhaul
Review from Engineering Dept
Interview process is fair enough
