What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Take responsibility for their actions and decisions rather than blame the employees for not understanding as a result of not being trained properly. In addition, do not guilt trip employees to stay because people keep quitting for not enjoying the environment.
Do the walk everyday and know what's going on in the project and who is working an who is not.
Understanding true strategy, it is painful to see zero direction.
They are all cold-hearted, with no sense of humanity they just fire people in a day. One of the worst management I have ever seen in my 17 years of career overall..
Review from Customer Support Dept
Transparency, accountability, compensation that matches experience and abilities, remove barriers that hinder corrective action.
Review from Operations Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Better salary and stock options would be nice
PKI talks about valuing people but doesn't act like they do. I'm compensated fairly but only due to acquisition. I believe base PKI pay isn't great.
There is no career growth unless you are a top-shelf guy. They grab ideas from you and project as if theirs.
Review from Customer Support Dept
In the medical device industry, many other companies are paying employees much more for their level of expertise and abilities.
Review from Operations Dept
to go on salary not commision
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
It all needs to start with management first
PKI has meetings about meetings and wastes everyone's time. They need to be more concerned about the work and less concerned about appearances.
I have worked with my best coworkers. They work out of fear
Review from Customer Support Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The CEO needs to walk the walk instead of just doing the talk. Stop talking about how you're going to change the culture and actually do it.
They need to stop the finger pointing and work to fix the problem not find someone to be blamed.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
be detailed and easy going
Review from Customer Support Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Management (CEO,managers, etc.) needs to reevaluate how they are running things. Own your actions and decisions!
You should keep effective managers, workers, and managers. People are fired just because it was recommended by few managers under the pretext of performance.
Review from Customer Support Dept
No appreciation on job well done. Even if you work beyond the working hours. Such as midnight calls and weekend calls.
