The salary and/or total compensation package
The people and collaborative culture
Mostly the interactions I have with my coworkers and how much my manager shows appreciation for my efforts
The company was very quick to provide me with feedback and even made an offer on the same day
Leadership is very transparent. They always schedule company wide meetings known as "Townhalls", where they have an open discussion on our contracts, future or any concerns employees might have. Employees are truly free to ask questions from immigration to benefits improvement etc.
Very open and collaborative culture. We usually take the last 10 minutes of every meetings just to make jokes and discuss about life in general. For example someone might mention a Netflix show they are currently watching with insights and recommendations etc.
Generally speaking, the engineering compensation at REI Systems is very good when compared to other jobs in the US. For example earning 80k to 100k is generally very good. But when compared to other tech and non-tech companies, it pales in comparison. TC needs to be upped by about 50% in general
Company culture is very flexible in terms of start time in the morning or end times in the evenings. So far as you complete your work, no one really follows you around to know what you are doing or when you started or ended. Also taking vacations or off days is easy peasy.
