It used to be great, now that we only focus on the bottom line, it is not longer fun.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Long with multiple people, but comprehensive. Behavior based questions.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I dread being told what I've done wrong every day. Also, I'm tired of filling out another spreadsheet covering the same data the previous days' spreadsheet covered. Stop analyzing and start building relationships.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
They pay well, but now target 50% of midpoint whereas in the past they targeted 90%. Pay is starting to fall behind and the new talent reflects this as they aren't as well qualified.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Embrace teamwork. Reward failure. Stop trying to pin blame and work together as a team to focus on doing what's right for the company and our customers. Engage in open dialog and stop ruling with an iron fist. Go back to the old Solvay where everyone was treated as family.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Practice the values you preach. "I trust" and "take smart risks" mean just that. We have recently become a company that punishes risks and doesn't trust anyone to do any task without constant bickering. "Focus on customers" does NOT mean focus on $ only. If you truly focus on customers, $ will come.
