What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Listen to individual Contributors not just managers, remove favoritism when promoting, bring in true leaders and not just managers.
Review from Sales Dept
In general, the more clarity of direction we can get, the better.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
There needs to be more done around equity and access for people with disabilities or limitations. Due to medical issues, I was not able to attend company events in-person and, in one situation, no remote joining was provided. In another situation, the remote attendance setup was poorly organized
Review from Customer Success Dept
Compared to other CS positions we average at least 10k less
Review from Customer Success Dept
I see people promoted out of favoritism not work ethic, or experience.
Review from Sales Dept
Less so about compensation, but a need for clearly career trajectory is evident.
Review from Sales Dept
Pay transparency and annual performance-based and/or cost of living increases. Lower cost benefits.
Review from Sales Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
The workforce here is very young and does not have real life experience.
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Transparency and honesty. Truly listen and care about your employees. Stop being hypocritical. Have some more self-awareness and put aside your ego.
Review from Engineering Dept
More focus on company culture, honestly. We're pretty light on culture building.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Too scattered and haphazard, needs to be made consistent and responsive. Too many candidates lost in convoluted and unresponsive process.
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Improve equity/inclusion for those with disabilities/handicaps/conditions. Make remote attendance of events accessible and inclusive. Also, please train management on language that gives the perception that those who attend in-person are sacrificing more ("thank you for taking time away...")
Review from Customer Success Dept
Toxic management team that is dishonest.
