Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
because of the private company, no RSU
I had done the same work as my counterparts for months but was always denied a promotion, job title change, and pay increase. This often happens to the women who work here, and the company has been sued on multiple occasions for their unfair treatment of female-identifying employees.

Committed to do what it takes, they're my friends
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Digital transformation. Get trained on the technology we buy vs. buying tools then never using them. Integrate technologies. Use automation. Allow data to flow between salesforce and other tools.
No "Delegation of authority" , action can only take after getting approval from CEO & Finance.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Immediate team - there is very little culture - private equity does not see value in this
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Providing resources so that team members are not consistently working more than 8 hours a day - many team members begin working early in the morning and well into their evening to be able to get the job done.
Leadership needs to focus on employees. People are leaving this company at a high rate to better opportunities. Leadership need to be professional, respectful and have integrity which they are not
More focus on supporting employees from out of country
What did you like most about the interview process?
It was simple, quick and painless
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
The company could be organized. Scheduling an interview was difficult, and I don't think there was a clear plan in place. Met with people who didn't really need to be included in the process or know what they were doing.
What makes you most happy at work?
the weekends and vacation though even then you get pestered by line managers
We're working on hard problems, the work makes an impact and is relevant
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
do not care customer success. To improve , CEO have to be replaced.
Typically overwhelemed. Don't have enough resources or support to get work done.
Negative, authoritarian work environment. Not transparent. Not professional. No heart. Everyone looking over their shoulder for next shoe to drop.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
It would be great to see management and leadership genuinely care more about their people than the bottom line.
