Toxic managers, directionsless leaders. The culture is degrading. Some great colleagues but they are being driven away.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

More clarity about pay and benefits.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Grossly underpaid compared to the market, failure to keep up with inflation. Lost 30% buying power in the last 3 years.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

At doing their job. Instead of throwing whatever buzzword of the moment and following blindly what consulting firms tell them to do.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Everything is going wrong. The company's main asset was its culture and people. Culture degraded terribly and along with the higher pressure and worse pay, the talented & skilled people are being driven away.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

It's for the most part a club of entitled highly-opinionated white men. When they get tokens of diversity, it is for the most superficial corporate roles, e.g. unskilled ambitious bureaucrats, rather than for skilled jobs.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Replace the leadership that has been methodically ruining the culture, get rid of dead weight bureaucrats, instead of laying off the skilled and competent people. Stop using buzzwords to pretend having a strategy. stop enabling management to be toxic
