At par with Market Rate
Review from Design Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Soft skills and customer satisfaction should be factored into compensation. Anyone could work at Odessa with proper training, but it takes so much more to be successful and drive the customer relationships.
Review from Operations Dept
Insurance is costly, that's more the US medical industry than a take on Odessa.

Everyone focused on taking care of the customer, not too many internal politics. Do your job well and have fun on the journey.
Review from Customer Support Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
1) The company gives the impression of the Centralisation of Power within Teams. 2) Too much focus on putting it in Email even amongst Internal collaboration. 3) Poor Planning about Roadmap about Project. 4) Inefficient Documentation Process which is sometimes not standard across teams.

Better work allotment and proper roadmap.

Review from Operations Dept
Able to talk with long term employees.
Review from Customer Support Dept
They truly commit a lot of time to vetting out employees and trying to learn if they will be a good fit culturally, in addition to meeting the job requirements.
Review from Customer Support Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
The interview should check for what the candidate brings to the company rather than what the company already is good at

Will be better if experienced people are interviewed and training or mentoring is given for first time interviewers
