Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
It's just the equity compensation I feel a little cheated by. I joined pre-IPO and unfortunately the company's stock has fallen a lot since the IPO. My equity value was kinda pegged to that IPO price, and now I'm earning a fraction of that while I'm sure new hires are getting much more equity.
Review from Engineering Dept
Sliding pay scaled based on geography should be eliminated or smaller gaps.
Review from Engineering Dept
If I leave, I know my replacement will get paid 50% more
Review from Engineering Dept
I think there are a lot of competitive offers out there for top engineering talent that we don't do enough to match with. It would be great if our total compensation increased to remain competitive even with the current market conditions.
Review from Engineering Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
For me personally, see the question about compensation. Also, I've been working on a lot of the same types of experiments for 2 years now, so getting a little bored. For the company as a whole, we have to get our costs under control, so we can reach profitability soon!

Lots of overlapping responsibilities during the review, planning, and execution phases at EOY
Review from Engineering Dept
Sometimes we place too much of an overhead in our processes and it's not particularly exiting to spend most of the week in meeting and working on the best way to present a document to leads. Often times the feedback is not constructive and bring up unnecessary work.
