What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Hire an external party to interview your people at the lower levels, especially those who had a lot of change. People don’t go from high performance to low over night. Round tables are not productive. People will not be honest because of the fair of retaliatio
More diversity and respect alternative opinions.
Go back to acting more like a startup and encourage employees to make a difference instead of creating a facebook like bureaucracy.
Dont just talk about the issues. Please be creative and solve them fast. They are good at highlighting problems however not good at finding quick/iterative solutions to those problems.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Working remote is worth its weight in gold
decent balance of salary benefits and equity
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Hire people with the right experience for the job and stop demanding people to learn skills in an hour that requires years of education and experience doing. Give credit for trying and acknowledge the hard work and determination for trying. Stop making judgement based on 1 side or gossip.
A market competitive base and bonus - I took a big paycut to work here and do not feel like that has levelled up despite promotions. Also internal growth is slow
What are some of the best things about your team?
Very passionate and hard working engineers.
My team is very collaborative and experts in their respective niche'
The people here are great. They work hard and care about the product.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Be honest and speak up. Change can’t happen when everyone is lying about what’s happening. Work together and not against each other. Own your mist
More empowered and less meetings
You're not at Amazon anymore. Learn to question, prioritize, plan and think about customer experience. Are you effective or are you just doing what you're comfortable doing? Why not talk with other people before you do something?
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Sustainability and local community impact
The environment is very "neighborly". We are always willing to help each other out.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Fire exec team. Need better people managers and product people who know how to build great product
Leadership need to opening acknowledge the problems and led by example. The cliques need to stop. I’ve been openly advise to tell trust no one. Tough to work in a place where you have no alli
More empowerment and better decision making
The bureaucracy has just entrenched the cliques. Encourage people to raise questions about product direction, engineering priorities and even the organization. If the people who build the product aren't making suggestions about the organization, it's because they don't think they'll be listened to.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Smart people. Well organized process
The interview process was fairly quick for me
They all voted yes to hire me
It was fine and standard. No suprises
It was short and sweet

What makes you most happy at work?
Being able to fulfill the companies expectations
Focused vision, acknowledgement and autonomy
Most people are really positive about the company. It would be an amazing company if the employees were really empowered. There's so much potential here!
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Product team needs to replaced. Exec team needs to be replaced. Poor cto vp and directors of engineering. All need to go.
Stopped highlighting the feedback from just those who know will give positive feedback. Feedback needs to be balanced. You go to one extreme to another. No one is giving constructive feedback because of the backlash.
I think the company is having a hard time retaining people because HR seems to be confused on development and training. They think giving a larger salary is better than long term training and development (which it might be for some)
