What makes you most happy at work?

Payday, other than that most are just trying to get through the day.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Stop punishing competence by working them to burnout, those with options will always leave. Instead, get the laggards to a respectable level of competence and production.

What did you like most about the interview process?

Hiring manager was very upfront about the job duties in my initial job, I appreciated that. After that it's been more "other duties as assigned" in my roles.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Getting out of the way, lots of egos and micromanagement. They want yes men but claim to want 'leaders', in reality, if you're related to senior management you're going to move up quickly. Other than that, good luck.

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

Paid below market rates for work, while the pension is nice, it's the lowest in the area compared to all similar institutions, I'd imagine as profits go up, that'll be one thing they buy out to reduce costs.

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

The biggest worry with WFH was that productivity would drop, it's maintained and actually increased during COVID, mostly because you're not in useless meetings to make your boss feel like they're involved in the work they're responsible for. Mute and remain productive is the order of the day.
