  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    Appreciating employees - there is little to no recognition and pay is getting worse and new equity model is terrible and leaves no real long term incentives. We don't have big parties or anything fun anymore either. But they're also not great at prioritizing and scaling the business

    Too much isolation and silos. Nothing to include remote workers or make them feel part of the company despite being 50% of all employees

    Salary is ok there's is a lacking of paying annual bonus
