What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Individual contributors are over-capacity and underleveraged. Penalizing requests for help and rewarding strong performance with more work creates burnout, not results. My feedback is that equitable workload distribution is critical to achieving the quality and speed leadership expects and values.

Leadership calls and townhalls with executives used to cover exciting innovations and why employees should be excited about the future of the company.. now everytime the Ceo and c suite hold meetings we all hold our breathe waiting to hear about culture impacting decisions.
Review from Sales Dept
Compassion and empathy for your employees
Review from Finance Dept
One of our culture tenents is "Teamwork". Sadly, executives believe this is only appropriate for fire fighting and teams are strongly encouraged to work independently rather than collaboratively, which means lots of re-inventing the wheel (often poorly) and poor communication.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Increase my salary to be equal to my coworkers
Review from HR Dept · Posted 6 days ago
Despite consistent above-expectation reviews and embodying our core values, I remain the least compensated. I've absorbed teammates' workloads without recognition or pay. Being praised but underpaid isn't sustainable and it contradicts the culture we claim to build.

Increase bonus for leaders here.
Review from HR Dept · Posted 19 days ago
I feel undervalued as my role has expanded beyond scope and I often cover gaps left by others without added recognition or pay. Compensation seems tied to experience, though role expectations remain the same. I’d value pay aligned

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Coworkers need to improve ownership, follow-through, and accountability to ensure responsibilities are completed consistently. We could work better together with clearer role expectations, balanced workloads, and stronger communication to prevent gaps and last-minute coverage.

They need to be able to complete tasks on their own or exhaust all resources before they ask for help.
Review from IT Dept
mostly good relationships, some with contention and conflct
Review from Sales Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Realize that some people working are just working to get paid, not actually enjoying the work.
Review from Engineering Dept
Leaders (both managers and senior IC) need to encourage working collaboratively on a day to day basis and not just when the SHTF. Need to convince people that change is possible.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Workload is uneven and often exceeds role scope, with gaps covered by a few team members. Pay does not consistently reflect responsibilities. This can be improved by balancing workloads, reinforcing accountability, and aligning compensation with role expectations and output.
