Highly collaborative, accountable to each other, everyone lifts each other up, particularly if people need to take time off for personal reasons. Everyone is willing to show their vulnerabilities in different areas they may struggle with.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Yvonne has significantly raised the level of social consciousness at Puppet. That's been a delight.
In the location I'm based everyone is very open and willing to take time to have a catch up or answer any questions you may have, this is also true across the company. With Covid-19 though it's definitely been more difficult with communicating purely through Slack.
Review from Engineering Dept
Everyone supports each other. It has a very community-like feel
We recently updated our values through a grassroots-driven effort with tons of employee input.
Review from Marketing Dept
The friendly nature of so many people through the company - the people are what make this job fun.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Refocus on what will make Puppet great, right now the company doesn't have a strong outlook
A recognition from leadership that there are several kinds of cultures in the building with their own styles and preferences.

It was easy but I was definitely lied to by the recruiter

My co-workers! They are super great and encouraging people. I always feel incredibly supported.
Review from Marketing Dept
My coworkers and my team
Challenging work, relationships based on trust, people I can learn from, welcoming environment, understanding of work/family balance.
Review from Marketing Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Improve to a transparency, collaborative environment. Actually fulfill what the customers are asking for in the product
Top down direction being given even when it doesn't align with our mission or values. Lack of seeking feedback on products that are EOL, instead they're pushed under the rug and forgotten about. Creativity is 'supposedly' encouraged, in practice you're told what to do, no questions allowed.
Review from Engineering Dept
Second guessed on decisions and directions I make.
Tons of meetings with unclear goals/agendas, diffuse authority,
